Make Your Child the Hero of Aladdin

A lamp in a cave, a wish that could be anything, and one very important decision.

Your child finds the lamp in the cave and discovers the hard part is not getting what you want — it is working out what is actually worth wishing for. A story about honesty, and about who you are when nobody is watching.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee — money back before printing.

Not waiting in a palace. Out in the city, solving it herself.

Stories they'll love

Lessons that last.

Aladdin has been told for centuries, and the character is already in it — courage, kindness, what a choice costs. We don't bolt a moral onto the end. It is the reason this story outlived everything written alongside it.

Which makes it worth talking about afterwards, and a book your child is the hero of gives you the opening. Three places we would start:

  • If you had one wish that had to help somebody else, what would you wish?
  • Aladdin pretended to be someone he wasn't. Why is it tiring to pretend?
  • What is something you have that you would never trade away?

Not ready to personalize it yet? Read the whole Aladdin story free — the complete adventure, about 9 minutes, nothing held back. Read it free first, then decide whether your child should be the hero of it.
