Moonchild

“They say death is hardest on the living. It’s tough to actually say goodbye. Sometimes it’s impossible.” – Dr Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy

Of fairies, a dragon and the moon

Ming Liang loses both her parents and longs to be with them. Instead of having an adult explain to her that life goes on, Moonchild gently takes the reader from grief to hope to love.

Moonchild is beautifully illustrated and suitable even as bedtime stories for the very young. It follows the journey of Ming Liang to the Moon Palace, where Moonfly Angel introduces Ming Liang to Moon Dragon.

Ming Liang gets to see her parents and is given a choice to return home to Grandpa and Grandma, or remain at the Moon Palace with her parents whom she has missed so much that she cries for them at night.

Which one does Ming Liang choose? Will she leave behind her grandparents to be with her parents or does she say goodbye to her parents?
