Starred Review, Booklist, May 15, 2013:
“The richly colored artwork is stunning in both its scope and particulars…and the words are equally well chosen. This combination of talents happily never forgets its audience in an offering as child appealing and whimsical as it is handsome.”
Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, May 1, 2013:
“A cheerful introduction not only to Wu Daozi, but to the power of inspiration.”
Starred Review, School Library Journal, May 1, 2013:
“Inviting and appealing, this title serves as a great addition to a unit on ancient China or Chinese Art.”
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, April 15, 2013:
“A fine biographical tribute to the enchanting power of art.”
