.Chang' e on the Moon by Katrina Moore, shown through Cornelia Li, translated by Jaime Chu.I collect picture books that retell myths and mythology, and I am delighted by this beautifully detailed brand-new retelling of the Mandarin fallacy "Chang' e on the Moon." Chang' e as well as her other half, Hou Yi, stay in love as well as love one another very much. Hou Yi is actually a skilled archer, and when way too many suns begin showing up in the sky, the Jade Empress demands Hou Yi's aid in shooting them down. Later, he gives Hou Yi a potion of endurance, but intending to stay a mortal with his partner, he does certainly not take it. I love Moore's take on completion. The end consistently end up with Chang' e taking the elixir as well as ending up being timeless and also living on the moon, however I really love Moore's empathetic take on it. Back matter features the tale translated in to Chinese. This is a planned series of folktales retold from all over the world, and also I may certainly not wait to accumulate them all!
