.Chang’ e on the Moon through Katrina Moore, explained through Cornelia Li, converted by Jaime Chu.I accumulate image books that retell beliefs and folklore, and I am actually delighted through this beautifully illustrated brand-new rehearsal of the Mandarin fallacy “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e and also her other half, Hou Yi, reside in peace and also passion one another very much. Hou Yi is an expert bishop, and also when excessive suns start appearing in the sky, the Jade King demands Hou Yi’s assistance in shooting them down. Afterward, he provides Hou Yi a panacea of eternal life, however intending to remain a temporal along with his partner, he does not take it.
I love Moore’s take on the ending. The end always end up with Chang’ e taking the potion as well as coming to be never-ceasing and also residing on the moon, however I adore Moore’s empathetic take on it. Back issue includes the tale converted in to Chinese.
This is a planned series of folktales retold coming from around the world, and I may not wait to gather them all!
