HOW THE SUN AND MOON CAME TO BE

A new story inspired by Vietnamese folk tales, beautifully brought to life in this truly unique picture book from Saigon-based illustrator Wiliam Luong. When Jade Emperor drops two gems from heaven, he sends his daughter and son to retrieve them. On their journey, the children witness the darkness and struggle around them. After petitioning their father to bring light into the world, each gem is transformed into the sun and the moon, where to this day sister and brother hold them up in our sky. 'The gentle gem's rays shine upon the land, lighting the way for people to play, dance, and sing in the darkest night.' A really beautifully created colourful picture book from the Tate gallery.
