Forget the awards, the sold-out museum exhibitions, and the timeless masterpieces.

And <b>Jean-Michel Basquiat</b> triumphed over poverty to become one of the world's most influential artists. <p/><i>Kid Artists</i> tells their stories and more with full-color cartoon illustrations on nearly every page.
