Ancient Chinese Myths (English Edition): Pangu, Nüwa, Jingwei, Houyi & the Stories That Shaped China

From the Death of Hundun and Pangu Creating the World to Nüwa Mending the Sky, Jingwei Filling the Sea, Kuafu Chasing the Sun and Chang‘e Flying to the Moon — Illustrated Myths for Young Readers
This book brings together the oldest stories in Chinese mythology—how the world began, how humans were made, and why the sun, moon, and stars move the way they do. You meet Pangu, who split heaven and earth; Nüwa, who created people and mended the broken sky; Jingwei, a bird that never stops trying to fill the sea; Kuafu, who chased the sun until he died; and Houyi, who shot down the extra suns to save the world. The pictures carry the story, so young readers can follow along even without much reading experience. It is written for children and for adults who want a clear, illustrated introduction to Chinese myths—rather than a dense academic study or a picture book with no story. If that is what you are looking for, this is it.
