Illustrated by Ellen Weinstein

3 stars

A nice, kid-friendly introduction to Yayoi Kusama’s life and art that gives some basic information about her childhood in Japan, life in New York, and struggle to get her work recognized.

Great illustrations.

Despite the length, there isn’t a ton of detail about Kasama’s life. The information presented is very simplistic. Doesn’t delve in to Kasama mental health or much detail about her inspiration for her work.

The book does include photos of Kusama’s work at the end, which were really cool to see.

Overall, a nice introductory biography. A good place to start when learning about Kusama.
