The Myth of Feng Huang, The Phoenix, Recreated
P.H.O.E.N.I.X.A
PHOENIXA: The Nest
A Mystical Quest for the Cheng Legacy
Written, Illustrated and Narrated by J.J. Cheng
Phoenixa, rising from the ashes of her ancestors, the six-and-half-year-old kite-flying, Phoenix-riding, Chinese girl embarks on a mystical journey into China’s tumultuous past searching for her Renaissance Grandpa who read to her Shan Hai Jing, The Classic of Mountains and Seas, seeking cures for human greed.
From the interior of a traditional Beijing courtyard to the tiptop of a giant Wu Tong Tree, Phoenixa finds her nest being dislocated from safety to danger. A relentless Red force is ready to strip her home bare. Fortunately, the enduring incandescent Feng Huang, the Phoenix, has kept her amused and protected as a secret guardian.

Cheng brilliantly recreated the myth of the legendary Feng Huang, the Phoenix, with a definitive modern twist. A cinematic tour-de force oflanugage and pictures. A sweeping Chinese saga, meditative, philosophical and encompassing.

Cheng’s paintings are art walking hand in hand with history. They are exquisite, captivating, and revealing, giving the book a strong sense of 3-D storytelling. A crowning achievement!

J.J.Cheng succeeds in weaving together Chinese culture, history and mythology from the vantage point of a young girl guided by ther grandfather. An ethereal ride throug the sky, feverently on the side of peace and standing tall in the face of darkness. Recommended for a wide range of ages. It is a far beyond being just a kids’story.
