Today I read Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist Jean-Michel Basquiet.
Winner of both the 2017 Randolph Caldecott Medal and the 2017 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award, this is the story of a young boy who overcame obstacles to become a radiant artist. I loved the illustrations and how they told the story through his art. It is a story of hope and perseverance. Jean-Michel had a dream and he made it come true.
I was sad to read that he passed away at such a young age. I am thankful to author/illustrator Javaka Steptoe for sharing Jean-Michel Basquiat story with the world.
