Stunning storytelling of an important artist in words & pictures

An especially important read for children who like colouring outside the lines, who do not easily conform, whose creativity has not been conditioned. An affirming real-life story for the genius lurking inside the rest of us. Suitable for older kids.

Beautiful book. Good for adults as well as kids.

Strange children's book which I cannot recommend. Surprised that it apparently received awards, which made me purchase the item. No attempt to reproduce any of Basquiat's work, presumably because of difficulty obtaining rights.

There is really no way to describe the beauty of this "Picture Book" as it tells an immensely complex tale of an immensely complex artist -- in a way that kids can recognize themselves in this icon of a generation. The collage of visuals either follow, or lead, the complexity of Basquiat's life. For all those Baby Boomers having kids there late 40s and fifties, Javaka Steptoe's work allows your youngsters to know a part of you and history. Not to mention, no one else I've seen can hold the attention of a bunch of kids in a library like this author seems to. The Caldecott Medal was well aimed.
