Everlasting Tales is a collection of multicultural fairy tales and folktales—honoring the stories passed down through oral tradition by refreshing and preserving them for new generations. Before she was the famous goddess of the moon, she was simply Chang’e. Once upon a time, there lived a kind, beautiful woman named Chang’e. She and her husband, Hou Yi, were deeply in love and existed in peaceful harmony . . . Until, one day, ten blazing suns rose into the sky and threatened everything they knew. But while the two worked together to save the lands from burning up—someone else they trusted was plotting against them.This epic romance follows how Chang’e’s bravery and selflessness saved her people and why, centuries later, they celebrate her and retell her story all over the world. In the first of the Everlasting Tales collection, multicultural folktales passed down through oral tradition now refreshed for a modern audience, Katrina Moore and Cornelia Li tell the Chinese legend of Chang’e, the moon goddess. Back matter includes an author's note and a condensed tale in Mandarin for bilingual readers, perfect all year and during mid-Autumn Festival celebrations.

Gripping narrative non-fiction with STEM and social justice themes that proves cities can be surprisingly wild places—and why understanding urban nature matters.What can city bees tell us about climate change? How are we changing coyote behavior? And what the heck is a science bike? Featuring the work of a diverse group of eleven scientists—herself included!—Dr. Cylita Guy shows how studying urban wildlife can help us make cities around the world healthier for all of their inhabitants. In the process, Guy reveals how social injustices like racism can affect not only how scientists study city wildlife, but also where urban critters are likelier to thrive. Sidebars include intriguing animal facts and the often-wacky tools used by urban ecologists, from a ratmobile to a bug vacuum. Cornelia Li’s engaging illustrations bring the scientists’ fieldwork adventures to life, while urban ecology challenges encourage readers to look for signs of wildlife in their own neighborhoods.
