Description

Everlasting Tales is a collection of multicultural fairy tales and folktales--honoring the stories passed down through oral tradition by refreshing and preserving them for new generations.

Before she was the famous goddess of the moon, she was simply Chang'e.

Once upon a time, there lived a kind, beautiful woman named Chang'e. She and her husband, Hou Yi, were deeply in love and existed in peaceful harmony . . . Until, one day, ten blazing suns rose into the sky and threatened everything they knew. But while the two worked together to save the lands from burning up--someone else they trusted was plotting against them.

This epic romance follows how Chang'e's bravery and selflessness saved her people and why, centuries later, they celebrate her and retell her story all over the world.

In the first of the Everlasting Tales collection, multicultural folktales passed down through oral tradition now refreshed for a modern audience, Katrina Moore and Cornelia Li tell the Chinese legend of Chang'e, the moon goddess. Back matter includes an author's note and a condensed tale in Mandarin for bilingual readers, perfect all year and during mid-Autumn Festival celebrations.

Critical Reviews

"Li's painterly illustrations beautifully capture Moore's text. A lovely retelling." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Alongside lush landscapes and portraits, this modern rendition of the classic tale refreshingly centers on love's 'strong power, wide reach, and ability to transcend distance, physical being, and even time.'" -- Publishers Weekly
