Sự tích chú Cuội The Legend of Cuoi, the Man on the Moon: Vietnamese bilingual tale for Trung Thu (Mid-Autumn Festival)

Cuội is a well-known character of the Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival.

Each year on August 15th in the Lunar calendar, this festival celebrates the day when the Moon is at its fullest and brightest.

Children often sing and parade in the streets, holding star lanterns.

They also play with traditional toys such as rice-powdered toy figurines and paper masks.

Families gather together to eat mooncakes and fruits while sharing folk tales about the Moon—like the story of Cuội in this book.
