.Chang’ e on the Moon by Katrina Moore, highlighted by Cornelia Li, converted through Jaime Chu.I collect picture books that retell fallacies as well as mythology, as well as I am actually thrilled by this gorgeously illustrated new rehearsal of the Mandarin misconception “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e and also her hubby, Hou Yi, live in love and also love one another a lot. Hou Yi is an expert archer, and when way too many suns begin showing up overhead, the Baggage Empress demands Hou Yi’s support in shooting them down. Later, he grants Hou Yi a panacea of eternity, but wishing to remain a temporal with his partner, he does not take it.
I really love Moore’s take on the ending. The end regularly end up along with Chang’ e taking the elixir and also coming to be immortal and living on the moon, however I like Moore’s empathetic take on it. Back matter includes the story converted into Chinese.
This is actually a scheduled series of folktales retold from all over the world, and also I can certainly not wait to accumulate them all!
