Inside the book
Meet Nuwa.
Two original pages, shown in full.
No email or purchase needed.
Long, long ago, when the mountains were still young, Nuwa lived alone in a quiet world. She was half woman, half serpent, and very, very kind.
Nuwa felt the world was too empty, so she scooped up soft clay from the riverbank. With patient hands she shaped little people, one by one.
