The legend of Mulan and her bravery is captured in this beautifully
illustrated Chinese children's book. Mulan is a folk story from
China's Northern Dynasty (439-589) about the unusual tale of an
ordinary girl named Fa Mulan. This book is illustrated based on the
original ballad, which depicts her bravery through Chinese ink
paintings. A long time ago in China, there lived a young girl named
Mulan. Her father was a retired general who taught her many skills
girls weren't normally allowed to learn, like martial arts,
archery, sword play and how to ride a horse. One day, soldiers came
to Mulan's village. They told everyone China was in danger, and
that a man from each family must join the army and fight. Mulan was
terribly upset. Her father was too old, but was honor-bound to
fight. If only she had been born a boy! That night, Mulan came up
with a plan to save the honor of her family and her father's life.
Early the next morning, disguised as a boy, Mulan took a horse and
her father's armor before leaving to join the army. No one
recognized her, and Mulan was very careful to never let anyone know
she was really a girl. Mulan's bravery, courage and the skills she
learned from her father helped her to succeed. Over twelve years,
Mulan fought against the threat to China before finally helping to
win the war. When she was offered a reward from the emperor for her
incredible courage, Mulan instead asked for a horse so she could
return home to her family. Mulan's family was so happy to see her!
And there, for the first time in twelve years, Mulan exchanged her
armor for a dress, fixed her hair into an elegant girl's hairstyle
and joined her family, a beautiful young woman once again.
