Do you know how the world began? Or why there is wind and rain? Have you ever felt lucky and wondered where luck comes from? Are you curious about the unseen and unknown?
People have been asking these questions for thousands of years, with different cultures coming up with different answers to explain the universe. The myths in Chinese Mythology date back to ancient China, where the Jade Emperor ruled from the Heavens alongside other deities, and when the world was filled with supernatural figures, including snake-women, animal tricksters, ghosts, demons, dragons, and more. Journey through the world’s creation and the rule of heaven to the powerful shaping of earth and the rise of humanity in these stunning, exciting, and mystical tales from China, written by the author of A Kid’s Guide to the Chinese Zodiac and illustrated in stunning, bright, magical pictures.

“Hwang chronicles the rich world of Chinese mythology in this expansive collection. . . . Dazzling spreads of brightly colored and fantastical illustrations have a contemporary feel and are accented by royal purples and eye-catching gold. Together, the collaborators deliver a digestible, carefully curated accounting of legendary battles and epic romances while also offering insight into why many still worship these gods today.”Publishers Weekly

“This is an appealing and unique contribution to the folklore canon intended for this age group and should fill gaps in school and public library collections.”Booklist
