Product Description
According to legend, there was a young woman named Mulan whose aged and frail father was conscripted. Mulan, unwilling to see her father fighting in a war, disguises herself as a man and joins the army in his place. For the next ten years she shows remarkable skill as a warrior and becomes a famous general. Her true identity remains hidden from her comrades until the very end. Now, over fifteen centuries later, Mulan continues to be an inspiration to Chinese girls and women. She embodies the belief that woman if given the opportunity are capable of accomplishing the same feats as men.

Beautifully Done January 11, 2007

This version of the original Mulan poem includes both the English translation and the original Chinese Characters. The artwork is beautiful, with lots of detail to look at on each page. There is also a short history of the poem included. I love this book because it is a great way to really share with your child the true rendition of the poem. Don't get me wrong, my daughter loves the Disney movie "Mulan," but I'm always concerned with historical acuracy, and this book does a beautiful job of showing and telling that story.
