About the Book:
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.
