Overview / 简介:
Combining a heartwarming family story, a magical adventure, and a
multilingual primer on Chinese language, The Magic
Brush tells the story of Jasmine, a young girl who learns
Chinese calligraphy from her Agong, or grandfather. As Jasmine learns
how to paint the characters for dragon, fish, horse, friend, and more,
she and Agong are magically transported to the wondrous world they are
creating. But when Agong passes away, Jasmine must find a way for their
special paintings to live on. Could her baby brother Tai-Tai be the
key? The Magic Brush, beautifully rendered in
traditional cut-paper, is perfect for young readers and their parents
to share, steeped in Chinese traditions and full of magical adventure.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价:
I love exploring different cultures with my young daughter, and when I came across this book, I could not resist its captivating title, " The Magic Brush: A Story of Love, Family, and Chinese Characters". It is indeed a lovely story, celebrating the close bonds between the younger and older generation, as portrayed in a Chinese family, and the wonderful things to be discovered when one is given the opportunity to learn something fascinating. Young Jasmine and her little brother Tai-Tai are happy when their grandfather, Agong, comes to live with them. However, Jasmine feels lonely with no playmate to amuse her or play with. Then one day, Agong invites Jasmine to come and learn something new - Chinese calligraphy! Before long, Jasmine is exploring fascinating new worlds through the fine art of calligraphy, with magic and fantasy blended in through Agong's deft storytelling skills (and Jasmine's flights of imagination). Sadly, Jasmine's grandfather falls ill, and when he is no longer in her life, Jasmine becomes despondent and lonely once again. Perhaps Tai-Tai is now ready for Jasmine to lead him into a new world? This story celebrates the richness of Chinese culture, the love between grandparent and grandchildren, and the life experiences and skills passed down from one generation to the next. The vibrant illustrations capture the gentle nuances of familial relationships and the 'magical' world of Chinese calligraphy. The author also provides a brief description of the history of Chinese art and a pronunciation key to some of the Chinese words referred to in the story. This wonderful book makes a perfect addition to multicultural collections at school and public libraries, and a rewarding read for children of any culture.
