The Song of Mountains, Forest and Sea

Taiwan is an island in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of mainland China. For centuries, the island has had a diverse mix of cultures and languages. The indigenous tribes on the island are distinctive examples. Their languages are classified as Austronesian languages close to those of the inhabitants of today's Philippines, Indonesia or New Guinea and Polynesia. Taiwan has thus become the platform where you can see the influences brought by the migrants from Pacific and Indian Ocean islands. The literary tradition of the Taiwanese is very rich, although they do not have their own writing system. The key to choose these three stories is the title of the book loosely hidden by the topics of the selected stories. It contains the natural elements that make up the world around us. In this book we find poetic stories about fire, water and the earth. They are stories full of known archetypes of humanity. We learn about the long journey to the end of the world and shooting down of the Sun, a story not unlike the well-known legend "Beauty and the Beast". We also find the well-known battle of the archetypes of good and evil in the story of the natives' victory over the monsters.

This wonderful book with three indigenous stories, which shows the world Taiwanese culture and legends through delicate but colorful illustrations, will not disappoint discerning readers of any age.

This collection includes three most well known Taiwan aboriginal tales, Shoot the Sun: Atayal's Sun-shooting Tale, Rukai Pearl: Rukai's Love tale and Alikakay Howl: Amis' Harvest Tale, with European's vision to Taiwan story. In the form of poetry, it shows Taiwan aboriginals' natural sense of beats and rhythms to the world. Every generation deserves their own version of classic legends in the most beautiful way.


◆ Shoot the Sun was selected by Taiwan Ministry of Culture into the 40th Book for Youth. It's the story about shooting the sun, from Taiwan aboriginal ancient tale. There were three Atayal warriors, carrying their each son, setting off to the end of the world to shoot down one of the burning hot suns. Inevitably, the young warriors took the duty from their aging fathers. They successfully brought the nighttime and coolness back to the world.

◆ Rukai Pearl is a love story between the Rukai Tribe's guardian, a snake spirit and the Rukai Tribe leader's daughter. In a way, this tale has the look of the eastern version of Beauty and the Beast. On top of it, we added a theme of the sustainable development of environment.

◆ Alikakay Howl is the most common one among Amis Tribe. It was said that a group of huge monsters Alikakay liked to eat children's hearts. The sea god advised the leader to try borong, the plant used to worship the gods. To thank the sea god, Amis had a big offering at the sea.

劉嘉路（Kate Dargaw）

Believing in "Stories are the happiest language in the world". Kate Dargaw had worked as an editor for nine years. She is good at retelling classic stories in a modern language which appeals children's interest right away. But she also keeps every story its elegant and literal look.
So far, she had published about ten pictures books in Taiwan; of all titles, Who came First? and The Nian Monster has been sold to Korea, Mainland China, Germany and The United States. Many of her works have been made into digital books in Taiwan as well.

服膺「童話是世界上最快樂的語言」，也認為每個世代的孩子都該有自己的經典。擅長以現代語彙詮釋經典故事卻不失原著精神，使故事情節在流暢之外，湧出文學況味。五年前發現原住民的傳說很少被完整地寫入繪本當中，因此開始專注在此方面的繪本寫作上，並以詩的格式來表達原住民在節奏、韻律上的天賦。2017-2020年出版三本台灣原住民傳說繪本，分別為《泰雅勇士大步向前：泰雅族最美的傳說》、《達羅巴令湖：魯凱族最美的傳說》和《美崙山上有怪物：阿美族最美的傳說》。其他繪本作品包括《鬥年獸》、《開心農場：怎麼吃健康又環保？》、《勇者之光》、《十二生肖誰第一？》和《原來我有這麼多》。在2010年應邀到柏林的亞洲節當中，朗誦《鬥年獸》的故事給當地的小朋友。
在童書繪本創作之外，也持續耕耘翻譯，目前已譯有近五十本書，包括了文學、療癒、勵志、旅行文學、青少年知識、大眾生活等類別。
