About the book
A charming retelling of a traditional Chinese story. Chang is the best painter in China and his paintings are so good, his birds and animals seem alive. So, when the Emperor's new temple needs painting, he sends for Chang. The Emperor has only one question - why is Chang painting dragons without any eyes? Is it true, as he claims, that if he adds eyes the painted dragons will actually come to life?
