Title: Paper Son: The Inspiring Story of Tyrus Wong, Immigrant and Artist Author: Julie Leung Narrator: Feodor Chin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 13 minutes Release date: June 8, 2021 Genres: Non-fiction Publisher's Summary: Winner of the American Library Association's 2021 Asian/Pacific American Award for Best Picture Book!   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.
