Hello: How Nüwa Created the World

Description

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.

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.
