Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang

5.0

Another excellent book from Gene Luen Yang. I appreciated how much of himself that he put in the pages as he searched out an inspiring story that was so different from his home base. A big theme of this book was about taking that first step into an unknown situation and following through with courage on that path. This went for the individually told stories of the players on the basketball team, for their coaches and for Yang himself. It's a wonderful book about looking beyond the walls that we sometimes set up for ourselves and seeing the important stories that are all around us. Cool that it came out around the same as the Michael Jordan documentary "The Last Dance" - these two works of art pair very well together.
