They lie about who they are to get into the U.S. and the son has to memorize a lot of information so that it matches what the father had said. When the son gets older and progresses through school, he begins doing Western art in class. The father also teaches him the traditional art styles from China. When the boy grows older he is an artist for Walt Disney and mixes Eastern and Western art styles to create the background of Bambi. When he gets fired, he begins doing art on kites and lanterns. This book would be good for 3rd-4th grade in sharing story progression and finding who you are, like the boy found who he was in the merge of east and west. This book tells the story of Tyrus Wong, a Chinese immigrant to the “Golden Mountains” of California. Tyrus is a talented artist and we see his achievements, most notably his work on Bambi. This story depicts grit, talent, and the challenges of immigration. Wonderful artwork mimics the brushstrokes of traditional Chinese art. I would use this book to talk with kinder-2nd graders about th history of immigration, especially the reality of laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act. Story about a boy and his father immigrating from China to America. This boy receives the name Tyrus Wong in coming to America, by his teachers. Tyrus loves art, but especially painting and illustration. He goes on to work for Disney, helping to create the movie Bambi. Disney unfortunately fires him, but he still created art wherever he went and he made his mark in the world. I really liked this book! I had no idea about his story and I thought this book was super informative. I would read this book if we were ever talking about Asian stories or immigration. This story tells about the life of tyrus wong, a chneese immigrant who became an artist. it tells of the difficulties he faced while having to pretend to be a different person to enter america, getting fired from his job at disney, and ultimately overcoming his challenges and creating beautiful art. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"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."--Amazon.com Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
