Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The creation of humankind begins with Nuwa, a lonely young goddess, a handful of clay, and a single "hello" in this vibrant and touching tale inspired by Chinese mythology.
"Wang breathes new life into the story of the Chinese goddess of creation. . . . Eye-popping illustrations bring the charm in this novel folktale retelling." Kirkus Reviews
Many years ago, when the world was still young, Nüwa was the only person on Earth. She loved to play with the fish and the birds, but she longed for someone to talk to. Then one day, Nüwa found a way to create a friend, and when this new little person said, "Hello," something magical happened....
This beautiful story demonstrates the importance of language, community, and communication.
"Originally published under the title 'Hello : one magic word connects us all' in the U.K. by Hachette UK, [2021]"--Page opposite title page.
"Demonstrating the importance of language, community and communication, this...story follows Nüwa, a lonely young goddess-- and the only person on Earth--who longs for someone to talk to until she finds a way to create a friend whose 'Hello' creates magic"-- Provided by publisher.
