Radiant Child
Danny Says
Since most schools shy away from teaching art and music anymore, the pandemic has provided parents with a unique opportunity to expose their children to great artists. This beautifully-illustrated Caldecott winner introduces readers to Jean-Michel Basquiat and his unique, collage-style paintings that 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. I LOVE this book!
