.Chang’ e on the Moon by Katrina Moore, illustrated by Cornelia Li, translated through Jaime Chu.I collect photo books that retell misconceptions as well as legend, and I am actually thrilled by this gorgeously illustrated brand new retelling of the Chinese misconception “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e as well as her spouse, Hou Yi, stay in unity and also passion each other dearly. Hou Yi is an experienced bishop, and when too many suns start seeming in the sky, the Jade Emperor asks for Hou Yi’s support in shooting them down. Thereafter, he gives Hou Yi an elixir of endurance, but wanting to keep a temporal along with his other half, he carries out not take it.
I like Moore’s take on the ending. The end consistently winds up along with Chang’ e taking the potion and also ending up being timeless and also living on the moon, however I love Moore’s empathetic take on it. Back concern consists of the story equated into Chinese.
This is actually a scheduled collection of folktales retold coming from all over the world, and I may not wait to accumulate them all!
