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

5.0

This book is enchanting, beautiful, biographical, and absolutely stunning.  Steptoe's artwork mimics Basquiat's, even down to the motifs and symbols Basquiat uses.  Not only that, but Steptoe provides additional resources in the back of the book, which only goes to show just how informational and careful this book is.  Steptoe tells Basquiat's story with such grace and understanding of a younger audience.  This is an absolute must have for your library, your personal shelf, for your TBR this black history month...or, you know, any month.
