Sinopse

Winner of the American Library Association's 2021 Asian/Pacific American Award for Best Picture Book!

An inspiring biography of animator Tyrus Wong, the Chinese-American immigrant responsible for bringing Disney's Bambi to life.

Before he became an artist named Tyrus Wong, he was a boy named Wong Geng Yeo. He traveled across a vast ocean from China to America with only a suitcase and a few papers. Not papers for drawing - which he loved to do - but immigration papers to start a new life. Once in America, Tyrus seized every opportunity to make art, eventually enrolling at an art institute in Los Angeles. Working as a janitor at night, his mop twirled like a paintbrush in his hands. Eventually, he was given the opportunity of a lifetime - and using sparse brushstrokes and soft watercolors, Tyrus created the iconic backgrounds of Bambi.

Julie Leung perfectly captures the beautiful life and work of a painter who came to this country with dreams and talent - and who changed the world of animation forever.
