As he grew older, Bruce also developed an interest in martial arts. He thrived on the grueling training but struggled to understand and apply the principles of gentleness and yielding that the master taught. Only after he set sail for the United States at the age of eighteen did Bruce truly embrace the values of martial arts and discover his own path to inner calm. Bruce Lee eventually became a pioneer of martial arts cinema, and his legacy lives on in popular culture. But it is his boyhood journey toward self-discovery and his courage to overcome obstacles that will inspire all who search for their way in the world today.

Nelson include: Crazy Horse’s Vision, p. 23 Jim Thorpe’s Bright Path, p.23 GROWING UP ON THE GILA RIVER INDIAN Reservation in Arizona, Ira Hayes was a quiet, shy boy. He never wanted to be the center of attention, and at school he often felt lonely and out of place. By the time Ira was in his late teens, World War II was raging. When the United States entered the war, Ira joined the Marine Corps. He believed it was his duty to fight honorably for his country, and with his marine buddies by his side, Ira finally felt as if he belonged. Eventually they were sent to the Japanese island of Iwo Jima, where a chance event and an extraordinary photograph by Joe Rosenthal catapulted Ira to national awareness and transformed his life. Filled with all the patriotism and tragedy of wartime and its aftereffects, Quiet Hero is the story of one man’s courage in the face of both military and personal battles. It is a poignant tribute to Ira Hayes— a man who was considered a hero by everyone but himself. leeandlow.com 5 NEW THIS FALL—Reading Level: Grades 4 and up SU DONGPO: Chinese Genius Written and Illustrated by Demi September Ages 7 and up, Interest Level: Grades 2–8 $24.00, Hardcover ISBN: 978-1-58430-256-8 10 x 10, 56 pages Themes: Historical Figures, Ancient China, Poetry, Eastern Philosophy, Asian American Interest As a little seed one day will become a great tree, as a flowing river can carve a mighty rock . . .

If you don’t have a particular author or illustrator in mind, providing us with details about what kind of presenter you are looking for can help us find you the perfect author for your event. 2. What? Think about what you want your event to entail. Even if you don’t have all the specifics, knowing what kind of event you want to hold and what your guests will take away from the event is half the battle. 3. Where? Do you know where you would like to have your event? Location can determine if your event is intimate, like a small reading, or large, like a school-wide author’s panel in an auditorium. 4. When? In terms of dates, try to have a few possibilities in mind to accommodate an author’s busy schedule. 5. Budget. Travel costs, honorariums, and book purchases are part of the majority of great events. LEE & LOW BOOKS has many authors and illustrators throughout the United States who are available for events. To view a list of where our authors/illustrators live, visit our Author Locator page on the Web at: leeandlow.com/calendar/authorlocator.html.

If this is a school event, have the children read the author’s books beforehand, so they are familiar with their work.
