It's so important for kids of all backgrounds to "see" themselves in books and I liked that they used Bruce Lee in this series and the illustrations are bright and charming.

What an interesting person Bruce Lee was! I was surprised to find out about his run in with gangs in Hong Kong and how he wasn’t a great student. It was nice to see how much drive and determination he had when it came to his passion for martial arts was amazing.
I really love the illustration style and the colors.

I love the cover of this one!
Like all books in the ”Little People, Big Dreams“ series, this book had an incredibly cute art style.
The language was easy to understand without any words too difficult for young children.
The story of Bruce Lee shows kids how dedication to something can pay off in the end.

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.

This Little People, Big World series is outstanding! The books are short, sweet, and beautifully illustrated. They are colorful, and exciting and they make learning fun for young children. I love that they're covering all sorts of celebrities, and famous influential people. Musicians, artists, writers, scientists, and more.
A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

For kiddos, any and all. Also interesting to learn more about Bruce Lee, even as an adult! Great series for a young classroom, or for introducing a child to reading as well as to ideas and pathways available to them in life.
Thoughts:
The illustrations are each a full two-page spread, with bright bold colors and simple design (perfect for children!). The details in each spread bring his story to life, like the photo of his parents on the wall of his acting trailer. Little things like that are how to add character depth in such a short format!
The story itself was engaging, because Bruce Lee is an incredibly person and fun to learn about! Even I had a few moments where I went "Whoa!!" and immediately turned to tell whomever was near me the cool fact I learned (Bruce Lee started off as a master cha-cha teacher?! WHILE HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL???). This has made me want to learn more about him, or go watch some of his movies! The resources and ideas at the end connect it all back to reality with the family photos and ideas for other reading.
Overall, what a great read and series! I'd love to have this whole set of Little People, Big Dreams in a classroom! I think I know what gifts I'll be getting for my nieces and nephews this year. :)
