The Girl Who Drew a Phoenix by Demi
5.0
Yet another beautiful book by Demi.
This is essentially a fairy tale about a girl gaining wisdom and learning that sometimes it takes hard work to achieve your dreams. Written with an obvious (but not overbearing) Buddhist influence, it uses the architecture and archetypal phoenixes of of China past. The illustrations are beautiful, shiny and bright. My 4 and 6 year old loved this.
Of note, Demi has written another book with a female protagonist that makes an ideal companion - The Boy Who Painted Dragons.
