Illustrated by
Dom Lee.
This picture-book biography follows the martial artist from his childhood in Hong Kong through his sailing to the U.S. at eighteen. Mochizuki deftly portrays Bruce's conflict between wanting to follow his master's teachings and wanting to fight when provoked. Dom Lee's acrylic and beeswax illustrations are somber. A summary of the remainder of Bruce Lee's short life and a list of sources are appended.
