This is a wonderful book about a very talented young artist. Wang Yani is an extraordinary young woman who is an inspiration to us all. Her love of animals is something most children can identify with. I have read this book with 3rd graders and they loved every photo and detail about Wang Yani's life. The combination of reproductions and Wang Yani's own words make the book gripping for young children. A must-have for any class studying China or Chinese art.

A fanscinating novel about the life and times of an amazing young artist, who went through many stages in her life and still is. A powerful, though-provoking book, also alot of tips for artists in the making! Wang Yani has had alot of parent influences, which cannot be stressed enough, and that is really what counts. It talks about her being China's prized possesion, or The Picasso OF China. Although I don't believe she is all that popular in Canada, I belive she will eventually reach that poing, whatever the time period. I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys all aspects of art!

After checking this book out of the library I loved it so much that I bought it from Amazon.com.
The creativity and fun that the artist conveyed through the work is inspiring. Having painted for
over fifteen years in oils and acrylics and getting my bachelor's degree in art I recognized an honesty
in this young painter's style that I inspire to have in my own work. I enjoyed the reviewer's comment that said
she has read it to her third graders and they loved it. Children are often the most honest and give the best critics of originality.

THE BOOK IS SUTPID DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND READ IT!!
