Beautiful Warrior is a book that everyone can get behind. ( ) Beautiful Warrior: The Legend of the Nun's Kung Fu shows beautiful examples of the Chinese culture. The book follows a young women who was waiting to explore what her life destiny would be. The illustrations are very expressive of culture in China. This book is also great because it shows a different way to illustrate books in a way that there are 2 pages on each page and are divided into frames. Like water to a parched soil, a reminder of everything I value about softness and resiliency. I want to be Wu Mei and keep finding my way. Aside from the obvious historical and philosophical connections, I would use this book with students (especially girls) who might need a literary hero to encourage them. Not that I'm a martial arts fanatic, but I did enjoy this book. At first, it revolves around the story of a woman named Jingmong who is later called Wu Mei. She learns kung fu as a child in the Ming Dynasty. Then, with the fall of the Ming Dynasty, she travels west and becomes a Buddhist nun. That's when the other woman comes into the story, a young woman that works for her family's stall near Wu Mei's Buddhist temple. She's nearly forced into marrying a thug until Wu Mei agrees to teach her kung fu to help her out of it. It all ends well. I like both characters. I like the book in general. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
