.Chang' e on the Moon through Katrina Moore, illustrated by Cornelia Li, translated by Jaime Chu.I pick up picture books that retell beliefs and also legend, and also I am actually thrilled by this gorgeously detailed new retelling of the Mandarin misconception "Chang' e on the Moon." Chang' e and also her partner, Hou Yi, reside in unity and also passion one another a lot. Hou Yi is actually a skilled archer, and when way too many sunlight begin appearing in the sky, the Baggage King requests Hou Yi's support in firing all of them down. Afterward, he grants Hou Yi a potion of immortality, yet desiring to remain a mortal along with his other half, he performs certainly not take it. I really love Moore's take on completion. The end always end up along with Chang' e taking the elixir as well as becoming immortal as well as residing on the moon, but I like Moore's compassionate take on it. Back matter consists of the story equated into Mandarin. This is actually a planned series of folktales retold coming from worldwide, and I can easily not wait to collect them all!
