Little People Big Dreams Jean-Michel Basquiat

Little People, Big Dreams is a best-selling series of books that explore the lives of outstanding people. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

Jean-Michel was born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Puerto Rican mother and Haitian father. When he was eight and recovering from an accident in bed, his mother gave him a copy of Gray's Anatomy, which sparked his interest in the human form. As a teenager, he gained recognition as part of the graffito duo SAMO that spray-painted cryptic messages and images around the landscape of Manhattan's Lower East Side. He eventually made his way to the New York gallery scene and on to international acclaim.
