Month by month, day by day, Chungliang Huang is our laughing, dancing, shape-shifting guide to an ancient realm of knowing. -- Gerald McDermott, Caldecott Medalist, Fellow of the Joseph Campbell Foundation For thousands of years, the Chinese have believed that each of us is born with the characteristics and powers of a member of the animal kingdom, depending on the month and year of our birth.
