CONTENT WARNING: The life story of Jean-Michel Basquiat from his days as a young child in Brooklyn lying on the floor drawing beside his mother, to a young man in a splattered green jumpsuit painting on the Lower Eastside to a famous artist in expensive (but still splattered) suits. This book has many themes, such as the importance of being true to yourself even if you are a bit different. (Jean-Michel's art is described as not clean, not in the lines but somehow beautiful.) It also touches upon mental health, as it references that his mother's mind is not well and she can no longer live with them. it shows the powerful love of family. (Even though, his mother can no longer live with them, she is still a powerful figure in his life.) It also tells us that art is healing. When Jean-Michel is afraid after an accident, his mother gives him an anatomy book, and he draws the bones and body parts over and over until he is no longer scared. Finally, it teaches us that art is everywhere. The book ends with an afterword: "More About Jean-Michel Basquiat." Winner of the Randolph Caldecott Medal and the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award

Winner of the Randolph Caldecott Medal and the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award Jean-Michel Basquiat and his unique, collage-style paintings rocketed to fame in the 1980s as a cultural phenomenon unlike anything the art world had ever seen. But before that, he was a little boy who saw art everywhere: in poetry books and museums, in games and in the words that we speak, and in the pulsing energy of New York City. Now, award-winning illustrator Javaka Steptoe's vivid text and bold artwork echoing Basquiat's own introduce young readers to the powerful message that art doesn't always have to be neat or clean--and definitely not inside the lines--to be beautiful.
