Paired with luminous blossom- and cloud-woven illustrations by Chuang, Wong Nava uses a nested telling to limn this classic-feeling work of Earth and sky. --Publishers Weekly This beautiful book melds a clearly written tale with intricate digital illustrations that mimic traditional Chinese paintings, scrolls, and stamp art. It would make a great entry point into mythology units, and a terrific read-aloud. A beautiful, necessary addition to collections. --School Library Journal Delicate digital art in full-bleed spreads and framed vignettes against gradient white spaces complement this gentle version of the Chinese myth of the Moon Goddess. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books [A] serenely told story. Chuang's accompanying artwork is a colorful blend of traditional Chinese and modern styles, depicting lush and magical scenes befitting the grand legend. --Kirkus Reviews The illustration style blends traditional motifs from Chinese artwork with more-modern artistic representations.

The heavy use of cool colors to make blue mountains, pink rabbits, and purple skies creates dreamlike sequences that make this a delightful book for readers any time of the year. --Booklist.
