.Chang’ e on the Moon by Katrina Moore, shown by Cornelia Li, translated by Jaime Chu.I accumulate image books that retell beliefs and also legend, and also I am delighted by this gorgeously illustrated new retelling of the Chinese fallacy “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e and her spouse, Hou Yi, stay in peace as well as love each other dearly. Hou Yi is an expert archer, as well as when a lot of suns start appearing overhead, the Jade King asks for Hou Yi’s help in shooting them down. Later, he approves Hou Yi a panacea of immortality, however intending to remain a temporal along with his spouse, he does certainly not take it.
I enjoy Moore’s take on the ending. Completion consistently end up along with Chang’ e taking the panacea as well as becoming immortal and living on the moon, but I like Moore’s understanding take on it. Back matter features the tale translated right into Mandarin.
This is actually an organized collection of folktales retold from all over the world, and also I can not wait to collect all of them all!
