An inspiring picture-book 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 and Chris Sasaki perfectly capture 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.
