Paper Son: The Inspiring Story of Tyrus Wong, Immigrant and Artist

This picture-book biography follows Geng Yeo, who came to the United States at nine with his father under false histories used to evade racist immigration laws. He loved art as a child and later worked as an animator at Disney. While developing Bambi, his spare sketches shaped the film’s visual landscapes, though he received only a background-artist credit. In later life, he made kites.
