Celebrate spooky season with shadow puppets inspired by Ed Young’s illustrations of the story of the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong. The Monkey King had countless adventures, but one of the spookiest was his meeting with the White Bone Demon. This terrifying skeleton demon can shapeshift to disguise herself. Will she deceive Sun Wukong long enough to attack? Find out with us, and explore two more beloved stories from Journey to the West in Birth of the Monkey King and Dragon King’s Palace.
