Description
The Shadow in the Moon by Christina Matula is a heartwarming tale that brings the magic of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival to life. Two sisters and their grandmother celebrate this special holiday with family, enjoying traditional foods like mooncakes and sharing stories of ancient legends. As they sit together, listening to Ah-ma's retelling of the legend of Hou Yi and Chang'E, the girls are captivated by the bravery and loyalty of these two characters. The story is woven into the everyday traditions of the festival, making it feel both timeless and relevant. The result is a charming book that explores the intersection of old and new, tradition and family, in a way that will resonate with a broad range of readers.
