A charming retelling of a traditional Chinese story.

Chang is the best painter in all of China, so it's Chang the Emperor sends for when his new temple needs painting. But why is Chang painting dragons without any eyes? Is it true, as he claims, that if you add eyes, painted dragons come to life?

This delightful retelling has sweet, simple text and gorgeous illustrations, with plenty for children to spot as Chang paints his surprising dragons.

The Dragon Painter by Lesley Sims captures the enchanting essence of an ancient legend that will ignite the imagination of readers both young and old.
