The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The ‘My First Little People, Big Dreams’ series provides informative and inspirational biographies about people who left a mark on this earth, no matter what difficulties they have encountered.
These stories are very short, but that’s because they’re books for children, so it’s totally understandable.
I think they are a very smart and wonderful way to introduce little children to such important figures.
This little one here is about Jean-Michel Basquiat, one of the most influential graffiti artists. I love street art so much, so I already knew about him and his art. His works are pretty unique and very very beautiful. I loved the introduction this book gives to little people about this great artist.

I can't say enough about this series! Simple without being overly so. Great illustrations and the perfect amount of information for little learners! We look for these books every time we visit the library. Another excellent addition to the series!

I think this entry into the series did a good job of presenting Basquiat's story in a way that is appropriate for young kids but still gets the main points of his life across.

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
This book here is about Jean-Michel Basquiat, an artist who fundamentally changed the way we make art and also what we consider as such. His influence on street art culture and graffiti was very important. It was nice to see his devotion to art since a very young age and also how encouraged he was by his own mother to pursue his dreams. Also, I liked how the book also touched upon his friendship with another famous artist, Andy Warhol.
