ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I saw this book on NetGalley, and I wished for it because Bruce Lee was one of the Asians I looked up too when I was a child, and I wanted to see how he was going to be depicted. I was really happy when I got accepted for the ARC because I knew that it would be a super quick read and I could see how Bruce Lee would be seen to children on this generation.
I think that it was a cute picture book. If I had a child, they would be Asian no matter what, and so I would use things like this picture book to show more people like them from a young age. I liked how this book sort of had a plot. It follows Bruce Lee from the beginning of his life to the height of his fame. Depending on the age of the child, I could imagine them then becoming interested in the movies that Bruce Lee is in.
I really enjoyed this book, and the artwork. It was so cute. It's definitely a book I'll buy when friends/family have children and show them the legend that is Bruce Lee.

Me when I am mixed with Hong Kong gangs too much, so I learn kung-fu as a form of self-defence and get sent to America by my parents to stop mixing with gangs. The art was also wonderful.

We have these books Little People, Big Dreams in a display at my library. I picked this book because my son-in-law loves Bruce Lee. So full of information and I did learn a few things about Bruce Lee. For example, a nurse gave him the name Bruce. I guess his native Hong Kong name was too much for her. *roll my eyes* I imagine all the books in this series will be the same - full of information and great illustrations.

Things I didn't know about Bruce Lee: he was a childhood actor in China, he was a master at the cha-cha, and he studied philosophy. This is why I love this series. Even as an adult you can learn something.
I received an advanced copy through Netgalley in return for an honest review.

Another surprising choice for the series, but another great book.
I'd love to see Lee's child acting at some point, his "kung-fu movies" for want of a better phrase were great.
This one avoided the whole mystery of his death.
Still a great read.

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.
