Publisher's Synopsis
When Chen's parents cannot afford to buy him
paintbrushes, he does not let that interfere
with his dreams of becoming a painter. An
unexpected encounter with a wise old man
transforms Chen's life when he is given a
paintbrush that brings whatever he draws
to life. Chen does not succumb to greed,
but instead helps those less fortunate. This
Chinese folk tale teaches about generosity,
honesty, and determination. Beautiful artwork
compliments this humbling tale.
