BUYING ADVISORY:, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
When Tyrus Wong was only nine years old he immigrated from China with his father - but, because of the Chinese Exclusion Act, he arrived under a false name with a history that wasn’t his - pretending to be of a more important social class. As he grew up he developed an interest and a talent in art, eventually working for Disney and contributing to the success of Bambi.
I do love picture book biographies. Includes an author's and an illustrator's note, along with photographs of Wong. A beautifully illustrated picture book biography, I hope my art teachers and social studies teachers will love this!
