Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This biography of basketball superstar Jeremy Lin is an anthem of Asian American pride that speaks to any child who feels underestimated or misunderstood. If Lin can, you can!
Have you ever been told that you CAN'T? Growing up in the Bay Area, Jeremy Lin heard that over and over again. People made fun of his size and his race and wouldn't give him a chance. But Jeremy persevered until he became the first Taiwanese American to play in the NBA. And when his big moment came, he seized it!
Jeremy's meteoric rise, dubbed "Linsanity," inspired the world and a whole generation of young Asian Americans. As author Richard Ho puts it, "Jeremy's struggles were our struggles, so his triumphs were our triumphs. He made us believe that if he could succeed, so could we."
Ages 7-10 years Charlesbridge.
Grades 2-3 Charlesbridge.
"This picture-book biography encourages children to look to the story of Jeremy Lin, the first NBA basketball player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent, for inspiration and empowerment"-- Provided by publisher.
