pickNicely illustrated biography of Tyrus Wong
Tyrus Wong was a Chinese American artist, who among other endeavors played an important role in illustrating Disney's movie Bambi.
In just a few pages, Julie Leung and Chris Sasaki manage to tell his life story: from leaving China, studying art to working at Disney. I also enjoyed the extra information at the end containing also the author's motivation for writing this book.
pickA thought-provoking, challenging examination of the variety of reasons refugees become refugees, as well as the attitudes and expectations of the host countries. At times, the writing jumped around a bit, but I found the reading to be worthwhile.
pickEveryone needs to read this! I love books that educate me and this one has a powerful message - one that made me grateful and sad .... And one that made me hold my babies more closely.
