Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist Je… di Javaka Steptoe
This book is about Jean-Michel Basquiat who is a big name in the world of art. This book starts in the 1980s in New York City and his passion for art as he grew up. Throughout the book how the pictures in the book highlight what shaped him growing up. You can also see in the words how some words are bolded and in a different font than the rest of the words. This story shows the readers to be themselves when doing something they are passionate about. It shows students that their passions can lead to big things if they keep at them.… (altro)
½A beautiful tribute to the heartbreaking life of Jean-Michel Basquiat. I learned about Basquiat and his art style from Bethany Barton earlier this school year, and was happy to find this book on our shelves at home.
I think this book is for children at the intermediate and primary level. The pictures are for everyone including the story it is telling about being able to do the things you set your mind to. It is a true story about Jean-Michel and the things he went through as a child and young adult that got him to being a famous artist.
This book would be appropriate for primary or intermediate readers.
This book tells the story of Jean Michel-Basquiat and his journey to purse art.
