"this was an adorable childrens book that shows a perfect message that you shouldn't be afraid of anything. with courage you can do anything so you should never fear fake hallucinations because they can't hurt you. the illustrations were amazing too."
"The poem might not frighten you at all but Basquiat's pictures might. I don't know who wrote the blurb for the book, but the pictures are far from childlike, as anyone who is familiar with Basquiat's art would know. The book is ostensibly a children's book but I bought it as an art book and cannot imagine a child who would actually enjoy these harsh, self-referencing pictures. Basquiat had always lived it up on drugs and alcohol, but limited means bought limited supplies. The bounty that was fame and money for the latest, much-lauded inheritor of Warhol's Factory ethos bought him excess, brought him death.
Its a gentle childlike poem, yes, but its a hell of an art book to own."
