The Girl Who Drew a Phoenix

40 pp. | McElderry | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-5347-0 $21.99
(4) K-3 Feng Huang wants to draw a phoenix, but she can't capture the essence of the mythical bird until she discovers "the phoenix powers of Wisdom, Clear Sight, Equality, Generosity, and Right Judgment." Demi's dramatic illustrations, with their signature touches of gold, help illuminate the concepts introduced, but the purposeful story remains rather abstract.
