Sinopse
“A tale of artistic integrity told with artful simplicity.” — Kirkus Starred Review “Visually it advances like the unrolling of an oriental scroll . . . A satisfying tale, whether read aloud or pored over alone to pick up the whimsical humor of the illustrations.” —School Library Journal When Chan is given a perfect jade stone and is commanded to carve a dragon from it, he senses a different destiny for the gem—and for himself. Perfect for middle readers and warmly illustrated by painter Ju-Hong Chen, this Chinese folktale offers a clear and gentle message of artistic truth and a lesson in staying true to one’s self.
