Description
Description
What magic can be found in a piece of string?The magic of a million incarnations--when the string is found by an imaginative little girl who spies it on the sidewalk.Slither, slish--it could be the dance of a scaly dragon.Or, push-a-pat--the top of the Great Wall of China.Unique illustrations, inspired by Asian brush-stroke paintings, transform the simple thread into fireworks, thunderclouds, and even the moon."
