(2) K-3 Illustrated by Meilo So. Look expertly narrates this tale about an ancient Chinese painter whose art fills people with such awe that they claim he has the "brush of the gods." An author's note provides information on the real Wu Daozi (689–759), and So's invigorating art perfectly suits a story about the first Chinese artist to introduce "movement in figures and their clothing."
