.Chang’ e on the Moon by Katrina Moore, emphasized through Cornelia Li, converted through Jaime Chu.I collect photo books that retell beliefs and folklore, as well as I am actually thrilled by this gorgeously pictorial brand new retelling of the Mandarin myth “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e and her other half, Hou Yi, stay in love and also love one another a lot. Hou Yi is an experienced archer, as well as when a lot of sunlight begin appearing in the sky, the Jade Emperor asks for Hou Yi’s help in firing them down. Thereafter, he approves Hou Yi an elixir of immortality, however wishing to stay a temporal along with his spouse, he performs certainly not take it.
I adore Moore’s take on completion. The end consistently end up along with Chang’ e taking the elixir and becoming timeless as well as living on the moon, but I adore Moore’s understanding take on it. Back matter includes the story equated in to Chinese.
This is a prepared collection of folktales retold from all over the world, as well as I can certainly not stand by to collect them all!
