.Chang’ e on the Moon by Katrina Moore, illustrated through Cornelia Li, translated by Jaime Chu.I gather photo manuals that retell beliefs and mythology, and I am actually thrilled by this beautifully illustrated brand-new retelling of the Chinese myth “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e and her partner, Hou Yi, stay in peace as well as love each other dearly. Hou Yi is an expert bishop, and also when way too many sunlight begin seeming overhead, the Baggage Emperor requests Hou Yi’s assistance in firing all of them down. Later, he provides Hou Yi an elixir of immortality, yet would like to stay a temporal with his partner, he carries out certainly not take it.
I really love Moore’s take on the ending. The end consistently end up with Chang’ e taking the potion and coming to be immortal and lifestyle on the moon, yet I like Moore’s understanding take on it. Back issue includes the story converted right into Chinese.
This is actually an organized series of folktales retold from all over the world, and also I can not wait to collect all of them all!
