Introduce young minds to the many iconic faces of David Bowie with this ethereal homage from Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell.

David Bowie’s countless devotees know that he was more than a musician, more than a celebrity; the trail of expression and creativity that he blazed is burning to this day, lighting a path for ages to come. But how to introduce that blaze to kids who weren’t even born yet when he passed on?  

In answer, Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell brings readers on the galactic journey of Bowie’s life, with stops for each phase of his ever-transforming career. No cut-and-dry biography, Starman is the true story of a spirit driven to seek, to dare, and to continuously transform.

Reviews for Starman: The Cosmic Voyage of David Bowie

Though Cordell’s signature scratchy ink line remains a constant, every section earns its own visual look. . . . A reverent, restless paean to an artist “forever facing and embracing the change,” this honors its subject by refusing to sit still. —Publishers Weekly A dreamy account. . . . —Kirkus Reviews
