Caldecott Honor recipient Allen Say tells the remarkable true story of Billy Wong, the first Chinese bullfighter. Born in Arizona, Billy is inspired by his father's words that in America, "you can be anything you want to be." With determination and courage, Billy overcomes prejudice and many challenges to enter the ring as a matador. Say’s elegant watercolors begin in sepia and shift to brilliant color when Billy attends his first bullfight, capturing the moment his dream takes root.
