Who Was Bruce Lee? by Jim Gigliotti Illustrated by John Hinderliter

This fast-paced juvenile biography dives into the 1964 spectacle of 23-year old Bruce Lee doing pushups using only two fingers on one hand before an amazed crowd at the International Karate Tournament in Long Beach, California.  Hinderliter’s masterful pencil illustrations support visual learners,   while text boxes cover some of the most interesting aspects of Lee’s tragically short life including his passion for dancing the Cha Cha. Recommended for curious readers of all ages. --Jessica Fenster-Sparber
