Most people know Chang’e for being the beautiful but lonely Goddess of the Moon with a pet jade rabbit. But once upon a time, Chang’e was just a regular goddess. Sure, she lived on Mount Kunlun with all the other impressive gods, and she was an incredible musician and dancer, but in lots of other ways she was just like you. She wanted the best for herself and she stood up to her bully. This is her story.
Packed with facts from the Chinese mythology and graphic art panels, ‘Little Myths’ is the perfect series for little mythology lovers.
Eliza Chan is a Scottish-born speculative fiction author who writes about East Asian mythology, British folklore and reclaiming the dragon lady. She has been a medical school drop-out, a kilt shop assistant, an English teacher and a speech and language therapist, but currently she spends her time tabletop gaming, cosplaying, crafting and toddler wrangling.
Xue Yingzhu was born and raised in a picturesque mountain town in China. She has always loved reading and painting and she studied for a bachelor’s degree in oil painting.
After graduating, she found that she preferred to see the world from a child’s perspective and was passionate about children’s illustrations. In her free time, she loves nature to explore with her daughter. She then uses her observations of nature to create fantastical stories and pictures.
