.Chang’ e on the Moon by Katrina Moore, illustrated through Cornelia Li, translated through Jaime Chu.I pick up picture books that retell myths and mythology, and I am actually thrilled by this gorgeously illustrated new rehearsal of the Mandarin misconception “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e and also her husband, Hou Yi, reside in peace and passion each other a lot. Hou Yi is actually a professional archer, and when too many suns start showing up overhead, the Jade King asks for Hou Yi’s assistance in firing all of them down. Later, he approves Hou Yi a potion of immortality, yet intending to remain a mortal with his wife, he does certainly not take it.
I adore Moore’s take on completion. Completion constantly end up along with Chang’ e taking the panacea as well as becoming timeless and also lifestyle on the moon, yet I love Moore’s empathetic take on it. Back matter includes the tale converted in to Chinese.
This is a structured series of folktales retold from worldwide, and also I can certainly not wait to gather all of them all!
