#SEL #fear #strength - not sure whether I should put this in the "picture books for older children" section or just the normal picture book section - while the text is triumphant, the illustrations are quite dark and disconcerting. I wouldn't want cute but ...

To be honest, my children are going to have this book. While Basquiat was obviously not a children's painter, the poem is too important to not show them.

Beautiful words. Beautiful lady. Wonderfully illustrated. The paintings go together perfectly. 

A lovely book to pick up and pour over.
