Used Book – The Magic Paintbrush. A Chinese Folktale, Renate Seelig, Anne Jussen

Once upon a time, in the Chinese Empire, there was a boy named Famfou. His greatest wish was to be able to paint. One night, an old man brought him an extraordinary paintbrush. Famfou soon realized that he possessed a magic paintbrush: everything he depicted came to life! Famfou was happy. He painted food when he was hungry, offered a lamb or a chicken to the poor, and helped them with his magic paintbrush. Soon, Famfou was known throughout the country. But his fame piqued the curiosity of the Emperor of China. However, Famfou did not want to paint for the Emperor, who already possessed all imaginable riches and did not truly need his help... The Magic Paintbrush is an old Chinese folk tale in which good and justice triumph. Renate Seelig's superb illustrations transport us to an enchanting world.
