Description   The Jade Stone, A Chinese Folktale. Adapted by Caryn Yacowitz. Illustrated by Ju-Hong Chen. Hardcover.  English.  36 Pages.  Ages 4-8. Chan Lo is a humble stone carver who is given a perfect piece of green and white jade to carve by the Great Emperor of China.  Is there a dragon in the stone, as the emperor demands?  What does Chan Lo hear the stone say?  What does it want to be? When Chan Lo finally succumbs to the stone's true wishes, the emperor is furious and throws him in prison.  Can the spirit of the jade stone save the stone carver's life? Warmly illustrated by painter Ju-Hong Chen, this Chinese folktale offers a clear and gentle message of artistic truth and a lesson in staying true to one's self.
