About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a task that feels impossibly large or when they doubt that their unique, quiet talents have real-world value. It is a sophisticated folk-style tale about Mi Ku, a humble artist who must use his scrolls and ink to outsmart a terrifying dragon. Rather than using swords or strength, Mi Ku relies on cleverness and the tools of his trade to complete three daunting tasks. It is a beautiful exploration of how creativity serves as a form of bravery. Parents will appreciate the story for its calm pacing and its message that the mind is often sharper than the sword. It is perfect for children ages 5 to 10 who are developing their own sense of self-confidence and problem-solving skills.
