Books like The Love of Two Stars by Janie Jaehyun Park


In the ancient Korean folktale "The Love of Two Stars," a farmer named Kyonu and a weaver named Jingnyo fall deeply in love upon their first meeting. Their devotion distracts them from their normal duties, provoking the ire of the king of the starry realm. As punishment, the king separates the lovers and permits them to meet only once a year—on the seventh day of the seventh month—across the Milky Way. When the appointed time arrives, Kyonu and Jingnyo cannot cross the river of stars to reunite. Their sorrowful tears create endless rain on Earth, until the magpies and crows devise a plan to help the lovers find one another.
