When Jonah Moon and his friend Bo grow a garden bed full of highly magical dandelions, all of their wishes come true. But can there be too much of a good thing? And who else might be interested in unlimited wishes from a magical garden?

Happy holidays from our family to yours!

We are heading out for a hut to hut walk in the Abel Tasman wilderness, which is a holiday tradition for us ever since moving to New Zealand.

We have a few episodes scheduled for you during our trip (Dec 26, Dec 28 Dec 30) and will be back to our regular 6 days/week schedule in the New Year.

Maked Up Stories is on a reduced schedule as Amanda, Steve, Jonah and Jesse hike the Abel Tasman Great Walk in New Zealand. Please expect an episode approximately every other weekday through the New Year when we will return to our usual schedule.

Will a young girl be able to save Australia’s Eucalyptus forests? The health of Australia’s magnetic Eucalyptus forests and the koalas that live in them are threatened by the mining activities of ten hard working dwarves, descendants of a German immigrant named Sneezy. The Guardian of the Forest needs Greta’s help to stop the destruction.
