Wu Daozi (689-758), known as China's greatest painter and alive during the T'ang 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 doesn't want to cooperate. Instead of characters, Daozi's 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schwartz \u0026amp; Wade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375870019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 9.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Black-Eyed Susan Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2013 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013 pg. 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/25\/2013 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Picture Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2013 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Youth\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013 pg. 36 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e159379 \/ Brush of the Gods\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.1 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lenore Look","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43166041538741,"sku":"9780375870019","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_dee5541c-7459-4d60-a4dd-3add206352f9.jpg?v=1696919143","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/brush-of-the-gods-9780375870019","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
