Today, Baobab Studio's newest transmedia franchise, “The Magic Paintbrush,” launches into the world with a highly illustrated book series, written by Kat Zhang with Eric Darnell and published by Penguin Random House! In this updated version of a classic Chinese tale, Amy, a Chinese American girl picks up an ancient paintbrush and unwittingly unleashes the power to make her art real--and sometimes dangerous. Amy has always loved art, but lately her drawings have been less than impressive. There's no passion, no personality, no...magic. Until Amy visits her Lao Lao, her grandmother, and finds an ancient paintbrush that brings anything Amy creates to life! Now her creation Luna has taken over her bedroom and is running through the streets of Flushing, Queens. What awaits: an international adventure filled with an ancient Chinese legend, a greedy adversary and ghastly beasts!
