This book is filled with stories that parents tell at the time of Chinese Moon Festival. The stories were nice but there wasn‘t enough of an explanation of what the festival is about, or enough in the stories the parents are telling the child, to give those who don‘t celebrate the Moon Festival and understanding of what it is about.

“I look for Chang-E and the Jade Palace on the moon, but I don‘t see them. Maybe they are on the other side,”
This book is cool because it is multicultural and gives children new views on the Chinese culture in a positive, creative way.
so-soMooncakes is a modern fantasy book written by Loretta Seto and illustrated by Renné Benoit. It is fantasy because it is about a woman who lives on the moon. It also is a Chinese folktale that connects with other common fables.
So... who else saw the Blood Moon 🌚 on Friday? I meet with friends at our small port and we drank wine and watched the sky. It was nice.
Exam time is almost done and after that I will finally have time to read, post and write again! At the moment I‘m 12 books behind on my Goodreads challenge, so I definitely have something to do!
