This short and sweet little book about David Bowie is an excellent introduction to the musical legend.

I think books like these are not only great to introduce younger readers to famous individuals, but great for showing the unique life many people have led. Not everyone is "normal" or had a "normal" upbringing. Look at David Bowie and his incredible journey - he's such a wild card of a person and he's loved for it.

My favourite part of this book is the pages where it shows David in all of his wild outfits. Nothing screamed David Bowie like that page - the creativity, the uniqueness, and the nostalgia I felt for that rockstar. Maria did an excellent job with this book! I am thoroughly impressed. These illustrations literally scream David Bowie in all forms!

My only critique is that I wish this book was a little bit longer. There could have been a little more about his creativity and songs since he does have all of the exuberant outfits and performing history.

Overall, I thought this book was amazing! It's a great little read for young readers!

Three out of five stars.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for allowing me an opportunity to read this story! ( )

This is a very sweet and cute little book about being yourself (or being David Bowie, if you can be). The illustrations are adorably simple. They even managed to include the origin of the strange eyes without it being anything other than cute. It's a very cute and colorful introduction to a colorful character. ( )
