.Chang’ e on the Moon through Katrina Moore, illustrated through Cornelia Li, equated through Jaime Chu.I gather image books that retell myths as well as mythology, and also I am actually delighted by this gorgeously detailed brand new retelling of the Chinese fallacy “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e and also her spouse, Hou Yi, reside in love as well as love each other a lot. Hou Yi is a skilled bishop, and also when excessive suns start showing up overhead, the Jade Empress requests Hou Yi’s help in firing them down. Subsequently, he approves Hou Yi a potion of immortality, yet desiring to stay a temporal along with his other half, he carries out certainly not take it.
I like Moore’s take on completion. Completion regularly end up along with Chang’ e taking the panacea and also ending up being timeless and also residing on the moon, however I like Moore’s empathetic take on it. Back issue includes the tale equated into Mandarin.
This is a prepared set of folktales retold coming from all over the world, and also I may certainly not stand by to collect all of them all!
