Ten Suns: A Chinese Legend

32 pp. | Holiday | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1317-9
(3) K-3 One of the earliest Chinese myths, this story describes how the world came close to being scorched once, when the ten suns of heaven decided to traverse the sky together, instead of in turn. The Archer of Heaven restores celestial order by shooting down nine of the suns, who become crows. The dramatic retelling is enhanced by the vibrant colors and sweeping lines of the illustrations. A source note is included.
