Javaka Steptoe

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

Picture book · ages 6–10 · 620L (~3rd grade)

Why we'd hand it over

A luminous, honest biography that models artistic courage without sanitizing Basquiat's struggles; Steptoe's collage art mirrors the subject's own aesthetic and makes this as much visual education as narrative.
