Hello: One magic word connects us all

by Viola Wang

Many years ago, when the world was still young, Nüwa was the only person on Earth. She was very happy playing with the fish and the birds, but she longed for someone she could talk to.

Then one day, Nüwa found a way to create a friend. And when this new little person said, "Hello!", something magical began to happen . . .

An uplifting story about the importance of communication, based on the Chinese creation myth. Written and playfully illustrated in bold, neon colour throughout by the creator of Rabbit Bright, Viola Wang.
