Look, Lenore. Brush of the Gods. New York: Schwartz & Wade Books. 2013. 40p. Young Wu Daozi is trying to learn calligraphy but his brush makes squiggles, twists and dots rather than letters and words. The lines of his writing turn into animals, trees, and the Great Wall around the city. His work becomes well known in China and one day he creates a masterpiece on the wall of the Emperor's palace. This is a beautifully illustrated book about following your dreams and would be a great addition to any unit on Ancient China or Chinese Art.
