She dabs dots on ladybugs and spots on butterflies, stripes on zebras and pentagons on giraffes. Finally, she comes to the very last creature--a patient beetle--and uses her special pot of gold paint. The painter is about to pack up to go home when a little gray bird flies out of the forest. The paint box is empty, but on the tip of the painter's brush remains a tiny bit of gold, which she drops at the back of the bird's throat. And when the painter asks the bird to sing, golden notes tumble from its beak. This timeless tale, with its stylish and striking illustrations, will appeal to children and adults alike.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTanya Landman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the picture book \u003ci\u003eMary's Penny\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Richard Holland, as well as the Poppy Fields mysteries \u003ci\u003eMondays Are Murder\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Dead Funny\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand other titles.
