When the Moon is Low

We're back! Here is our first official episode of Season Two!

This week, we delve into Nadia Hashimi's When the Moon is Low, a moving novel about an Afghan mother trying to get her children to safety. Topics include mother-in-law relationships, weird boy mom culture, different cultural approaches to storytelling, the importance of the education of women and young girls, and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

We also reference Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "The Danger of a Single Story" talk, the podcast You Are Good. and Melinda Gates' The Moment of Lift.

The kids books mentioned in this episode are:

We Could Fly by Rihannon Giddens and Briana Mukodiri Uchendu

Worm loves Worm by J. J. Austrian and Mike Curato

Escargot by Dashka Slater and Sydney Hansen

*Correction in today's episode: the movie Shay mentions is actually Billy Madison, not, in fact, Happy Gilmore. They are both Adam Sandler movies that came out in the mid '90s.
