Quote from The Girl Who Drew a Phoenix

The Girl Who Drew a Phoenix

by Demi

Margaret K McElderry Books, New York, New York       © 2008      52 pp.

Up in the Heavens the phoenix were flying.

They lit up the sun and the stars and the skies

with the lights from their sparkling tails,

and they nourished all the heavens!

As the Supreme Female Powers and Principles

of the universe, the phoenix saw that all life

was born and maintained in heaven and on earth.

They helped others whenever they could--

making the universe one integral whole. . . 

On earth there was a little girl named Feng Huang. One day

she found a feather of a phoenix.  What a treasure!
