After an overwhelming read of, Of Rubber Shoes and the Saddest Baby, this book brought my spirit up. It is such a nice story of Lin Hwai-Min, a Taiwanese man who essentially brought light again to the theatre in his country. But what I liked most in this story is that it tells children that art is just as important as everything else, and that devoting their lives to art enriches other lives—which is, I believe, one of the greatest things a person can do.
