## Description

With her magic paintbrush, Shen can paint steaming pots full of fish and oysters to feed the hungry people in her village, but when the evil emperor hears of her gift he commands Shen to paint gold for him instead. She is determined to keep her promise to paint only for the poor, but how can she match the emperor's mighty power? In The Magic Paintbrush, Julia Donaldson's brilliant verse combines with beautiful illustrations from Joel Stewart, creator of The Adventures Abney and Teal , to bring vibrant life to a traditional tale of how a little girl's integrity can withstand the corruption of power and greed. This edition features a stunning redesigned cover, making it a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson fans – big and small!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely story
*by K***R on 23 November 2021*

I am a retired Infant Teacher and I first came across this story published as a Ladybird book, and my pupils always enjoyed it. I now have a 5 year old grand-daughter who is half Chinese, so I was delighted to find this Julia Donaldson version, especially as she is a big fan of the author. The big difference is that the main character is now female and so is easier for her to identify with. My daughter-in-law thinks It is a traditional Chinese tale. It is a lovely story, beautifully told and the illustrations are excellent. In my many years teaching very young children I read many, many stories aloud. I obviously had a few favourites, and this was one of them.
