Like other books in this series, it is a fun little introduction to inspiring people. Definitely a great way to introduce kids to biographies and a nice read for adults too. I would recommend all the books in this series.

Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

It's about Bruce Lee for kids! These books always have kid friendly writing and interesting illustrations!!! Netgalley download ; free eBook for free review.

This Little People, Big World series is outstanding! The books are short, sweet, and beautifully illustrated. They are colorful, and exciting and they make learning fun for young children. I love that they're covering all sorts of celebrities, and famous influential people. Musicians, artists, writers, scientists, and more.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

The Little People Big Dreams series are always great, and I'd always happily recommend any and all of them to customers. I'm yet to find one I don't like and they offer a great introduction to some fascinating people for kids (and in some cases adults too!).

Sanchez Vegara's Bruce Lee explores the life of one of cinema's greatest martial arts actors. Though born in America, Lee was brought up in Hong Kong, where he was a child actor. Some unwise choice led to his father sending him back to the US. Despite many difficulties, Lee went in to found and teach martial arts in the US, and to star in many blockbuster martial arts flicks like Enter the Dragon. At the end is a section with more detailed information on Lee's life. Inspirational and educational both, this entire series is great, and full of delightful art to engage younger audiences!

***Many thanks to the Netgalley & Quarto Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I like it because it has all the movies he made in it and I really like the cover. I love Little People, Big Dreams books.

The book Bruce Lee by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara had me hanging at all the twists and turns that his life took. Bruce had a strong influence in the not just the martial arts but acting by his father and he was able to finally able to find his place in film. We have come to love his martial arts films and grateful that he stuck out his moves from America and Hong Kong.
The time line in the back of the book is really helpful and I really like to see the events of his live laid out.
This one was a fun read. Thank you NetGalley.

Bruce Lee's story is both inspiring and tragic, I am glad Sanchez Vergara created this book to introduce younger readers to the martial arts legend.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me a copy in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the simplicity of this story and think it would make for a great gift to a child to start building up their own library.

The ‘My First Little People, Big Dreams’ series provides informative and inspirational biographies about people who left a mark on this earth, no matter what difficulties they have encountered.
These stories are very short, but that’s because they’re books for children, so it’s totally understandable.
I think they are a very smart and wonderful way to introduce little children to such important figures.
This little one tells the story about Bruce Lee, the famous martial artist and Hollywood film star. Here we discover new things about this talentous artist, and that was really nice.

I never watched any Bruce Lee's movies. But I know he is one of martial art legends. I am glad that I can read this short biography about him. Like another series, this book also give me a lot of things that I do not know about Bruce Lee like Cha Cha enthusiast part.

After reading this I found something that missing, Ms Isabel should have written Ip Man as Bruce Lee's teacher. He was the man that gave a big influence in Bruce Lee's early life.

What is there not to like?

For kiddos, any and all. Also interesting to learn more about Bruce Lee, even as an adult! Great series for a young classroom, or for introducing a child to reading as well as to ideas and pathways available to them in life.

Thoughts:
The illustrations are each a full two-page spread, with bright bold colors and simple design (perfect for children!). The details in each spread bring his story to life, like the photo of his parents on the wall of his acting trailer. Little things like that are how to add character depth in such a short format!

The story itself was engaging, because Bruce Lee is an incredibly person and fun to learn about! Even I had a few moments where I went "Whoa!!" and immediately turned to tell whomever was near me the cool fact I learned (Bruce Lee started off as a master cha-cha teacher?! WHILE HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL???). This has made me want to learn more about him, or go watch some of his movies! The resources and ideas at the end connect it all back to reality with the family photos and ideas for other reading.

Overall, what a great read and series! I'd love to have this whole set of Little People, Big Dreams in a classroom! I think I know what gifts I'll be getting for my nieces and nephews this year. :)

Vegara's depiction of Bruce Lee's life is fantastic. I was happy to see his story added to the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. The story is both thrilling and educational; it will surely captivate my daughter's attention. The illustrations are great as well. I was happy to see that the book focused on his minor missteps and how he turned himself around; it is an excellent lesson for children to learn.

Another beautiful and charming addition that looks are the struggles and celebrations of Bruce Lee’s life. Plenty I learnt and a perfect person for the little people, big dreams collection.

'Bruce Lee' by Ma Isabel Sanchez Vegara with art by Kim Hyeon Ju is a picture book in the Little People, Big Dreams series.

Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, but grew up in Hong Kong. He was a kind of lazy student, but picked up skills along the way, like acting and dancing the cha-cha. He brought those skills back to the States and started a karate school. After the tv series he was in got cancelled, he went on to make iconic movies.

At the end of the book is a timeline of Bruce Lee's all too brief life. The story is a good one about finding your way in the world. I love the bright large pictures. This continues to be a really fun series.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group-Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

It's so important for kids of all backgrounds to "see" themselves in books and I liked that they used Bruce Lee in this series and the illustrations are bright and charming.

This book was a charming and interesting look at the life of martial artist and movie icon Bruce Lee. While aimed at younger readers, there is plenty of information in this book to keep adults interested, as well. Additionally, there are some excellent lessons for readers subtly inserted throughout the text.

This series of little biographies is intended for small children, but to be honest - I find the books quite interesting as well, and so I read some of them about people that are actually so famous that almost everyone knows their names but further than that know next to nothing about them.

In this one, for example, I learned that Bruce Lee was from a privileged background (and not from a poor slum as I somehow expected), he loved dancing and martial arts but had problems with basically every other subject in school. Ultimately he was sent to the US in order to get out of trouble at home, which was Hongkong.

Nicely done biography that focuses on the part of life of Bruce Lee that its readers are probably most interested in - his childhood, youth and way to fame.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Very visually engaging, this takes the reader through the life and achievements of Bruce Lee. One of the things that stood out was that the author had included that Bruce Lee didn't like going to school much and would get into fights. Showing his decision to change things for the better, it is encouraging to follow his story and see that these traits did not stop him from going on to be successful. There is a lot that can be taken from this book about the mindset he employed and how that led to his success.
