Jean-Michel Basquiat by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara
4.0
I'll be honest, I hadn't heard of Jean-Michel Basquait and after reading this I am totally intrigued! This might not be how Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara intended for her books to be used (you know, educating adults), but it definitely made me learn something! I am impressed!
This incredible man is an artist, and he started out small! Initially he liked music and drawing and reading! He used an anatomy book he was given by his Mother to hone his drawing skills, and eventually he became very famous for his incredible works.
I love this quirky little series. It's a non-fiction, picture book series featuring famous people and how they got to where they are. The pictures are always adorable, the stories are sweet and simplistic and it's packed full of useful knowledge! You might even learn a new face or two (like I have been whenever I pick up these books!).
I think there's something in this series for everyone. Not only will kids enjoy it, but parents will get a kick out of the new facts they learn or even just from picking up an educational book instead of just that Frozen picture book their child makes them read constantly.
Overall, I'm over the moon with this series and want to read as many of them as I can! I really enjoy them!
Four out of five stars.
