About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling small in a big world or needs to find the internal 'fire' to overcome a daunting obstacle. While framed as a mythic quest to rescue the sun from the King of the Devils, it is fundamentally a story about the weight of responsibility and the power of persistence. It provides a beautiful way to discuss how one person's courage can bring light back to an entire community. This Han folktale follows young Bawshou as he takes up the mantle of his lost father to save the world from darkness. The narrative moves with the steady, rhythmic pace of traditional folklore, making it ideal for children aged 5 to 9. Parents will appreciate the rich cultural heritage and the way it honors the bond between generations, emphasizing that bravery is often a choice rather than a lack of fear.
