Xian loved watching his father, the most famous Chinese calligrapher in all of China. For Xian to study calligraphy he had to wait until he was 6 and then he could become his father's student. He became his father's apprentice and his father explained that "No one can become a great artist without working hard." In order to be an expert you have to fill up 18 vats of water and as the years go by you will become a master calligrapher.
This book is so charming and I was excited to show it to my Chinese teacher to use for her class. The illustrations look like they have been done with a paint brush that is used to create Chinese characters. It is beautifully done. All the people in this book are Chinese.
