Book Review - 'Mulan: The Legend of the Woman Warrior' by Faye-Lynn Wu (Writer), Joy Ang (Illustrator)

A gorgeous retelling of the ballad and folktale of Mulan. The picture book is gorgeous in both art style and writing; presented as a story about modern empowerment for modern girls.

'Mulan: The Legend of the Woman Warrior' is bold and emotional, as well as uber feminist. It teaches girls (and women, too) to be persistent and brave; to never give up any battle and hardship. To never truly give up being themselves for anyone or anything, and to keep believing in hope; in coming home again.

Girls - never give up, period.

Mulan is a strong and inspiring figure - in history, legend and pop culture.


"One should not judge another by their appearance alone. When a pair of rabbits run side by side, can you tell the female from the male?" - Mulan.


I'm sort of hyped all over again for the live action Disney remake, when or if I ever get a chance to see it.


"A woman can fight any battle. Now I am happy once again to be just me, Mulan, a strong and able woman."


Final Score: 4/5
