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.
