The Golden Touch A Greek Myth

What happens when a wish for “more” becomes a curse instead of a blessing? This lively retelling of the classic King Midas myth brings young readers into a world where greed glitters, choices matter, and every action has consequences.

King Midas believes that gold is the key to happiness—so when a magical visitor grants him the power to turn anything he touches into solid gold, he celebrates. But the thrill quickly fades as food, flowers, and even the people he loves transform before his eyes. Suddenly, the gift he wanted most becomes the danger he never expected.

Told with clarity, humor, and heart, this kid-friendly version of the ancient tale helps children explore themes of gratitude, contentment, and what truly makes life rich. Perfect for classrooms, bedtime reading, and character‑building discussions, The Golden Touch invites readers to reflect on the difference between having wealth and having what matters.
