Eighteen Vats of Water -- Ji-Li Jiang

<p><strong>As long as he can remember, Xian has wanted to be a great calligrapher, like his father. </strong></p> <p><strong>When he turns six, he's finally old enough to start studying. Calligraphy is more than writing--it's painting--and Xian learns how much work and creativity go into what look like effortless strokes. </strong></p><strong> <p>Based on stories still told about Xian and his father, famous calligraphers of the 4th century, <em>Eighteen Vats of Water</em> is about determination, creativity, and learning how to see, as well as the importance of family traditions.</p></strong></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Ji-Li Jiang<br><b>Publisher:</b> Creston Books<br><b>Published:</b> 04/05/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.80lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 11.10h x 9.20w x 0.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781954354067<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Booklist</i> 04/15/2022 pg. 53
