Description
Cuội is a well-known character of the Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival. Each year on August 15th in the Lunar calendar, this festival celebrates the day when the Moon is at its fullest and brightest. Children often sing and parade in the streets, holding star lanterns. They also play with traditional toys such as rice-powdered toy figurines and paper masks. Families gather together to eat mooncakes and fruits while sharing folk tales about the Moon—like the story of Cuội in this book.
Have you ever looked at the Moon and wondered: Who is up there?
According to Vietnamese legends, Cuội lives on the Moon with his precious banyan tree. But how did he end up there? This book will tell you his story and more. The text is written in both English and Vietnamese, and carefully edited by native speakers of both languages.
