Can you believe this? B. Lee was an expert at Cha Cha dancing. He studied philosophy and then got a job teaching Wing Chun to his flow students. The book has great simple illustrations, and lovely to read abot such a squiggly trajectory!

Another beautiful addition to this series which I love to read. Gorgeous illustrations accompany Bruce Lee's story too at the perfect level for readers of all ages. It includes a powerful message about not giving up and you will find your true calling.

I love this series.

This one features Lee's troubled childhood and teen years, his proficiency at the cha-cha (omg I loved that bit), and of course his martial arts and acting prowess. As he sets off for the United States and second chances, there's a nice nugget about being able to rectify your mistakes once you've acknowledged them.

My first grader read this one aloud with great gusto.

'Bruce Lee' by Ma Isabel Sanchez Vegara with art by Kim Hyeon Ju is a picture book in the Little People, Big Dreams series.

Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, but grew up in Hong Kong. He was a kind of lazy student, but picked up skills along the way, like acting and dancing the cha-cha. He brought those skills back to the States and started a karate school. After the tv series he was in got cancelled, he went on to make iconic movies.

At the end of the book is a timeline of Bruce Lee's all too brief life. The story is a good one about finding your way in the world. I love the bright large pictures. This continues to be a really fun series.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group-Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
