Heartfelt Recommendation

Based on an authentic local country life experience in Taiwan and developed into a magical adventurous story; set and inspired by images of Eastern myth and broadened to a global fairy tale; promoting awareness of environmental and feminist issues. This is an original story, and I believe both children and adults will benefit and take what they need from it. With its vivid and distinctively visual charm, I look forward to seeing it made into a movie or animation soon.

Guan’s adventures are filled with tender ”growing up” pains, learning of her own strengths and how to use them …. Guan is a role model for children of every age, from three to one hundred and three!

Mrs. Q has drawn from Eastern mythology to create adventures that challenge not just Little Guan, but also her family and friends … How Little Guan discovers and applies her powers is well worth the read.

This is a perfect book for parents and children to read together. The main character ”Little Guan” is like tender moonlight illuminating those who surround her. The plot is lively and interesting … it helps us to reflect on the meaning of happiness and find the balance between human endeavor and the environment we live in. I believe your perspective on life will change after reading this book and you just may find that you can also bring the light to others.

A Light is Born – Web Short Intro

A Light is Born

Little Guan is a girl born with a sensitive heart and a timid soul. She wants nothing more than to be like the other kids in the village who climb high up into the banyan trees, race barefoot across the rocky beach, and hide fearlessly in dark caves when playing hide-and-seek. She dreams that she could be as brave and strong as Momotaro-San, the hero in the stories her mother tells her at bedtime. If she were that strong, she could help her parents and protect herself and others from bullies. Then one day, Little Guan slips from a tree while trying to conquer her fear of heights and a mysterious power is awakened inside of her. Her life changes forever as she sets off on an adventure through magical new worlds filled with fantastic creatures and hidden dangers.

A Light is Born is a heartwarming fairy tale capturing the innocence and courage of a little girl growing up in a coastal village of the small Pacific island named Formosa. It is also the introduction to a seven book young adult fantasy novel series The Daughter of the Moon, which tells the story of the Moon People in their fight for the survival of humanity against the relentless attacks of the soulless and bloodthirsty Stone Behemoths.

The Daughter of the Moon –book series intro

The Daughter of the Moon

In ancient times, Moon Popo sent her seven Daughters of the Moon to Earth in a desperate bid to save humanity from the brutal onslaught of the soulless and bloodthirsty Stone Behemoths. Today, the once majestic powers of the Moon People who remain on Earth have diminished, their minds selfish and hungry for power and money.

How will Earth survive against the Stone Behemoths as they rise once again from beneath the mountains and come crashing down from the Outer Sky?

In a coastal village of the small Pacific island named Formosa,
a baby girl is born into a fisherman’s family.

The Daughter of the Moon is a series of fantasy novels inspired by Eastern myth from Formosa Island and following the life of Little Guan, an Earth girl with the blood of the Moon People. Overcoming her fears, Little Guan begins a journey through the four magical spheres of the universe—the colorful Ocean Kingdom below the sea, the Hidden World that secretly coexists with human beings on Earth, the invisible Glowing Pavilions of the Moon, and the mysterious Outer Sky filled with wonders and dangers never touched by human eyes.

With her growing powers and a group of friends from near and far, Little Guan leads the Moon People in the fight against the cataclysmic return of Stone Behemoths. Little does she know that the biggest threat to humanity is humanity itself!
