A picture book about Bowie??? Sign me up! While I wouldn‘t consider myself a true fan of his music, his impact on music history is amazing, and I felt the music industry lost so much when he passed away.

On to the book - I liked it as a glossed-over version of his story. Love the illustrations! It‘s very readable and approachable. I do wish the text emphasized his love of reading. The text also keeps everything light. #PictureBook #BBRC #LetterD

LaraReads So awesome! 10mo
LibrarianRyan I agree. This was not one of my favorites in the series. It was almost too light. It flew over so many things. 10mo

Decided to be slightly wild on a Friday night and order and pick up my own food (no cut of the profits for you Uber Eats) and head back to my semi local burger joint where all the burgers are named after Bowie songs.

I‘m feeling brave so I‘ve strayed from my usual favourite, Thursday‘s Child in favour of Cat From Japan... time will tell if this was a good call 😅

Mehso-so

3.5 🌟
This isn‘t bad for picture book bio of David Bowie. It hits the main points of his boyhood. Part of me would like a little more depth, but at the same time, I loved how the author kept using space terms and imagery to portray David. There were so many other things he did, that this seems lacking. The book seems to stop right after he “became famous” . he illustrations are approachable, even if many would be barely recognizable as Bowie.
