"A Song of Stars" by Tom Birdseye, was about a couple who loved each other so much, they stopped caring about others and only for each other. They even stopped working. Her father decided they should be married, but once they stopped working and only caring about each other, he separated them. They wouldn't be able to see each other until the seventh month of each year on the seventh day. The day they were able to see each other, there was a storm and he was lost in it. She was sad and thought they would never see each other again. Just then, birds picked her up crossing the Milky Way putting her in her lover's arms again. This was your typical love story and fairytale plot. They fall in love, become separated, and are brought back together for their happily ever after. The illustrations in this book use multiple colors and a type of origami art used in the Asian culture to depict the Asian legend. ( ) Princess Chauchau was the daughter of the Emperor of the Heavens, a celestial weaver who worked with the "shimmering threads of the firmament." Newlang was the heavenly herdsman with whom she fell in love, and - with the blessing of her father - married. But when love distracted the newlyweds to such an extent that they neglected their duties, the Emperor had no choice but to separate them, sending them to live on opposite ends of the Milky Way, and permitting them to meet just once a year, on the seventh night of the seventh month... This legend of the stars, which can be found in both the Chinese and Japanese traditions, offers a mythological explanation of the stars Vega and Altair, and the Milky Way spread out between them. Celebrated on the seventh night of the seventh month - in China as Chi Hsi, the Festival of the Milky Way, and in Japan as the Tanabata, or Weaving Loom Festival - it is a poignant tale of love, long separation, and all-too-brief reunion. Tom Birdseye's lovely retelling, in A Song of Stars, is paired with beautiful, mosaic-like illustrations by Ju-Hong Chen. All in all, a wonderful retelling of a classic sky legend - highly recommended! sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
