What’s The Magic Paintbrush?

I read the children’s book called, ‘The Magic Paintbrush.’

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Joel Stewart.

It’s a delightful children’s rhyming picture book that tells the tale of a young girl called Shen and a magical paintbrush.

One day a wise man gave Shen a wonderful gift. A paintbrush that transformed everything she painted into reality. The wise man also warned Shen that she must only use the magic paintbrush to help the poor, not the rich.

Back in the village Shen painted each villager whatever they needed.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before the Emperor heard of Shen and her magic paintbrush. He wanted a tree made of gold but Shen refused and was imprisoned.

What will Shen do now?

Will she paint a golden tree for the Emperor so she can be set free or will Shen find a way to escape?

A wonderful story, that both adults and children will like, very inspirational.

Why not read the book or watch it on YouTube then you can tell me what you think?
