Once upon a time, in a land of enchantment, there was a magical rainbow. This rainbow was unlike any other, for it had the power to grant the wishes of those who could find it. Many people had heard tales of the magic rainbow, and they set out on a quest to find it. The journey to find this elusive rainbow was not an easy one. It required perseverance, determination, and a deep belief in the impossible. Those who embarked on this quest faced many challenges and obstacles along the way.

Based on you remembering the character being Japanese, I'm going to suggest Ma Lien and the Magic Brush by Hisako Kimishima.

In the original tale as it was first handed down decades, nay centry or more ago, Ma liang came froma a poor family and the paint brush brought wealth and comfort. It is a great book that can be used to teach what happens when you wish for something without realizing how it can impact your life or how greedy you may be becoming.

Those who embarked on this quest faced many challenges and obstacles along the way. They encountered treacherous mountains, dense forests, and treacherous rivers. But their desire for the magic rainbow kept them going.

Review: The Magic Paintbrush

The Magic Paintbrush by Laurence Yep, illustrated by Suling Wang.
HarperTrophy, HarperCollins, New York, 2000.

Eight-year-old Steve’s parents and all of his belongings are gone after a tragic fire, and now he shares a single room in Chinatown with his grandfather and Uncle Fong (no relation but a childhood friend of Grandfather’s). They are so poor that after his paintbrush split in art class, he’s afraid to go home and tell his Grandfather, knowing that a new one is not possible.

The Magic Paintbrush by Laurence Yep, illustrated by Suling Wang.

For a book with magic in the title, this book takes a while to get to the fantasy part. The first chapters are all about establishing the setting – early 1960s San Francisco – and characters. The tale of a magic paintbrush given to a poor boy who uses it to spread happiness is a Chinese story that has been retold many times, mostly in picture books. Yep has a unique historical Chinese-American spin to his version though.

Chapters are between 5 and 12 pages long. Each has a small illustration after the chapter title, and most have a full page illustration within the chapter. The cover gives some idea of the black and white interior artwork. I was impressed by Wang’s artistic skill. The ability to convey a child’s drawing changing to real life within a drawing itself is more complicated than most illustrations. When you add the historical setting and fantastical elements, her skill is even more impressive.

Fantasy lovers will have to persevere through the first two chapters that introduce the characters and setting, before getting to the magic.

However, I’m not entirely impressed with the way the illustrations were printed. The interior illustrations are reproduced in black and white, and while some transitioned well, others lost a lot of nuance. It’s clear from the results that the interior illustrations were painted with colors much like the cover. While I appreciate publishers trying to keep costs down, color interior paintings would have added a lot to this book.

The other quibble I have is that this book is not body-positive. As I’ve mentioned in the past, the original publication date is something that I consider. In this case the genre also applies that this is set in the past and the early 1960s is not known for awareness of different body types.

However, the comments mostly apply to one chapter about Mr. Pang. He is not coded as overweight beforehand, although he’s definitely a villain from his first mention. Instead he is forcefed gourmet meals through a situation of his own making and greed.

Some of the descriptions and comments, as well as the unfortunate characterization of a negative, greedy character as overweight, could still be problematic. They are few enough though, that a well-prepared teacher, librarian, parent, or caregiver could alter them during read-alouds. However I would avoid this for students who struggle with body positivity or who might be triggered with the mention of force feeding.

Because this is short and crosses genres, I’ve often seen it assigned as a class or small group read, or used as a read-aloud. Incorporating elements of historical fiction and fantasy, with the major bonus of an Asian-American main cast, this book is deservedly popular. It also deals with loss and poverty in a sensitive manner.

The relationship between Steve and his grandfather starts off full of misunderstandings and poor communication, but grows throughout the story into a true family relationship. They both manage to communicate their needs through the magic paintbrush and gain some understanding of each other.

Part of me hoped for a sequel to this one. There is so much more to explore with the paintbrush, the Lady on the Moon, and their new lives. But the story really is more about the relationship Steve has with his grandfather and Uncle Fong – and that comes to a natural conclusion by the end of this book.

I’d recommend this for teachers, librarians, or as a family read-aloud. With just 11 chapters, this book can be completed in two weeks or less as a read-aloud, or within a month as a structured group read. Steve is in third grade, and this is structured somewhat like an early chapter book, but the vocabulary and complexity put it higher, in the upper elementary/lower MG range. The short chapters and low reading level could make it achievable for hi-lo readers if they aren’t turned off by the protagonist’s age.

Finally, after months of searching, a brave adventurer stumbled upon the magic rainbow. The sight was awe-inspiring as the colors arched across the sky, shimmering and glistening with a mysterious power. The air seemed to crackle with energy as the adventurer approached the rainbow. With trembling hands, the adventurer made their wish. They closed their eyes and whispered their deepest desire into the wind. And just like that, their wish was granted. It was as if the universe had heard their plea and granted them their heart's desire. Word quickly spread about the power of the magic rainbow, and more and more people began their quest to find it. Each person had their own unique wish, their own dream that they yearned to see come true. And the magic rainbow never disappointed. It continued to grant wishes and bring joy and happiness to all those who found it. But as time went on, people became greedier. They began to take advantage of the magic rainbow, making selfish wishes that only benefited themselves. The spirit of the magic rainbow became tainted, and its power began to dwindle. One day, a wise elder sought out the magic rainbow. Unlike the others before him, the elder did not have a wish of his own. He simply wanted to see the magic rainbow's power restored and the world filled with joy once again. When the elder found the magic rainbow, he looked up at the vibrant colors and spoke to it in a gentle voice. He asked the rainbow to forgive the selfishness of those who had come before and to restore its power to bring happiness to the world. As if hearing the elder's plea, the magic rainbow shimmered and sparkled anew. Its power was restored, and the world felt alive with possibility once again. From that day forward, people approached the rainbow with a newfound respect and gratitude. The magic rainbow became a symbol of hope, reminding people of the importance of selflessness and the beauty of granting wishes to others. It taught them that true magic lies not in personal gain but in the joy and happiness that can be brought to others. And so, the legend of the magic rainbow lived on, weaving its way through generations. It served as a reminder that the greatest magic of all is found in the power of love, kindness, and selflessness..
