.Chang’ e on the Moon through Katrina Moore, highlighted by Cornelia Li, translated by Jaime Chu.I collect image books that retell misconceptions and mythology, and I am actually thrilled through this beautifully pictorial new rehearsal of the Chinese misconception “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e and her hubby, Hou Yi, stay in unity as well as love one another dearly. Hou Yi is an experienced archer, as well as when a lot of sunlight begin showing up in the sky, the Baggage Emperor demands Hou Yi’s support in firing them down. Afterward, he gives Hou Yi a panacea of eternity, but wishing to remain a temporal with his wife, he does not take it.
I really love Moore’s take on the ending. The end constantly end up with Chang’ e taking the panacea and becoming immortal as well as living on the moon, however I really love Moore’s empathetic take on it. Back concern includes the tale equated into Chinese.
This is actually a scheduled set of folktales retold coming from all over the world, and also I can easily not stand by to accumulate them all!
