Step into a swirl of misty mountains, bold black brush-strokes, and gentle, grass-munching buffalo!
The Story of Li Keran: An Inspiring Story for Kids invites little readers on a luminous journey through the life of one of China's greatest painters. Long ago-when trains puffed steam and lanterns glowed at dusk-a curious boy named Li grew up in the riverside town of Xuzhou. Everywhere he looked he saw shapes: clouds that became dragons, shadows that became forests, and puddles that mirrored the moon. He doodled with twigs in mud, mixed charcoal with water on scrap paper, and dreamed of learning every way to paint.
At just sixteen, Li packed his satchel and traveled to bustling Shanghai Art College, where he studied the bright colors of Western oil painting alongside ancient ink-wash secrets. There he discovered that art is a bridge-one half in the past, one half in the future-and a brave artist can walk across both. When war darkened the sky, Li's landscapes turned stormy, but he never stopped painting. In quiet moments he sketched sturdy water-buffalo, calling them symbols of courage and kindness, then splashed great waterfalls over sweeping cliffs to show hope crashing through fear. His classrooms filled with eager students, and soon the whole world admired Master Li's daring idea: "Dig deep into tradition, then leap beyond it!"

Parents and children alike will marvel at how Li Keran's patient practice, boundless imagination, and tender heart turned simple ink into living mountains-and how those mountains still whisper, "Be bold, be gentle, be you." Young listeners will see that every scribble holds a secret adventure, and that even the smallest painter can splash colors strong enough to change the world.
Why Kids (and Grown-Ups!) Will Treasure This Book
- Fully colored, gallery-bright pages-each spread bursts with playful illustrations echoing Li Keran's famous ink splashes.
- "Can-You-Find-the-Buffalo?" search game hidden on every landscape to keep little eyes exploring.
- Read-aloud rhythm crafted for cozy bedtime sessions under lamplight-about 5-7 minutes per chapter.
- Big ideas in little words: perseverance, creative bravery, and cultural pride distilled for preschool minds.
- Artist's Corner activities invite kids to paint their own mountain or design a friendly cow mask after the story ends.
By nestling history inside wonder, this book becomes both a paint-box of delight and a stepping-stone toward empathy. Whether you're a grandparent sharing heritage or a teacher filling art hour with inspiration, The Story of Li Keran will hang in young memories like a treasured scroll-ready to unroll whenever courage is needed.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
