Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat by Javaka Steptoe

4.0

Radiant Child is the story of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The story follows him from early ages until his adult age of success. Jean-Michel saw art everywhere he went and often while he slept as well. Through it all, his mother was his anchor and supporter, even when she could not do as much as she wanted to. I would rather read this to an older group of children, possible first or second graders. This could be a part of an art section of class.
