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. Review Quotes * "A lively, engaging introduction to a one-of-a-kind artist perfect for art-loving kids.... An excellent read-aloud."--Booklist, starred review * "This is a beautifully illustrated biography...[and] an excellent read aloud, especially in the art classroom."--School Library Connection (starred review) *"In this visually arresting and vibrantly narrated biography, Steptoe...emulates 1980s street art by layering paint, paper scraps, paint tubes, and photos on found-wood panels.... Steptoe downplays tragic elements, instead celebrating Basquiat's irreverance and brilliance."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) *"Javaka Steptoe is the perfect person to create this book: a tour de force that will introduce an important artist to a new generation."--The Horn Book (starred review) *"One extraordinary artist illuminates another in this textured, heartfelt picture book biography.... Pairing simple text with expressive, encompassing illustrations, this excellent title offers a new generation a fittingly powerful introduction to an artistic luminary."--School Library Journal (starred review) *"Vibrant colors and personal symbols channel the 'sloppy, ugly, and sometimes weird, but somehow still BEAUTIFUL' paintings, incorporating meticulously attributed collage elements and capturing the artist's energy and mystery. Stellar bookmarking--a riveting portrait of a young artist."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Art need not be neat to be beautiful, a message underscored by this boldly beautiful bio of a 1980s phenom."--San Francisco Tribune "Steptoe tells a complex story in simple child-appropriate language and illustrates it with paintings brimming with joy, sorrow and outsized inspiration."--Chicago Tribune "Vibrantly colored, humming with energy, Javaka Steptoe's paintings evoke the style of Jean-Michel Basquiat."--Virginian-Pilot Praise for Radiant Child: Winner of the 2017 Randolph Caldecott MedalAn IndieBound BestsellerWinner of the 2017 Coretta Scott King Illustrator AwardEssence Magazine Top Ten Books of the YearNAACP Image Awards Nomination for Outstanding Literary Work in ChildrenBank Street College of Education 2017 Best Children's Book of the YearNPR Best Books of 2016Washington Post Best Books of 2016Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2016School Library Journal Best Books of 2016Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2016Horn Book Fanfare Best Books of 2016New York Public Library 2016 Best Books for KidsChicago Public Library 2016 Best Books for KidsALA Notable Book for ChildrenA CCBC Best of Year ChoiceA Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People 2017 SelectionHorn Book 2017 Summer Reading ChoiceAmazon Best Book of November 2016 About the Author Javaka Steptoe is a Caldecott and Coretta Scott King Illustrator award-winning artist, designer, and illustrator.
