Brush of the Gods
By Look, Lenore
This gorgeous picture book biography, according to Kirkus Reviews in a starred review, is a cheerful introduction not only to Wu Daozi, but to the power of inspiration.

Wu Daozi 689-758, known as Chinas greatest painter and alive during the Tang Dynasty, is the subject of this stunning picture book. When an old monk attempts to teach young Daozi about the ancient art of calligraphy, his brush doesnt want to cooperate. Instead of characters, Daozis brush drips dancing peonies and flying Buddhas! Soon others are admiring his unbelievable creations on walls around the city, and one day his art comes to life! Little has been written about Daozi, but Look and So masterfully introduce the artist to children.
