Another classic folklore re-imagined into an original fairy-tale, "The Enchanted Chinese Brush Pen" is a universal story of personal imagination and social responsibility. A poor boy in ancient Asia discovers an enchanted brush pen has the power to create anything he draws. Instead of seeking personal wealth, he uses this rare gift as a tool to do good deeds and help others. But he quickly learns that some are jealous of his gift and desire it to bring them riches. The young artist must risk his life and freedom to protect his honor and the purity of the brush pen from corrupt forces. Xuemei Han brings this story for children to life with her unique and inspirational hand drawn illustrations. Her internationally award winning style is an innovative blend of traditional Chinese cultural paintings and Japanese Manga. This magical combination is the perfect match for a new generation of young readers interested in fables and fantasy stories from Asia.
