Chinese pictures for the New Year
These illustrations are from my picture book MONKEY AND THE WATER DRAGON.
I adapted the story from an ancient Chinese folk tale, and is one of the amazing adventures which the hero Monkey and his friends have, on their way to India, to fetch the Buddhist scriptures back to China.
