About This Book

In this beautifully illustrated bilingual picture book, Nuwa, a goddess who is part woman and part snake, tumbles from the sky to a colorless world. Determined to bring beauty and color to the earth, she journeys to find five magical stones that will seal a hole in the sky and restore the world. Li Jian’s retelling of this classical Chinese myth comes in both English and Chinese, sharing an important story from Asian culture with children learning about the world around them.
