Flying High
"This book is fantastic. It is full of interesting perspectives, pattern, colour, different media and symbolic references including kite-flying. I can relate to the theme of feeling small and unnoticed, also to some of the frustration felt by the boy. The illustrator portrays mood, emotions and movement well. The picture with the grandparents hints at ancestors and spirituality. There is depth in this book and it has many layers." [Chang’e (嫦娥) is the Chinese goddess of the moon, best known for stealing an elixir of immortality from her husband, Hou Yi. Her story is celebrated as part of the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. https://mythopedia.com/topics/chang-e]
