Hilarious childhood biographies and full-color illustrations reveal how Leonardo da Vinci, Beatrix Potter, Keith Haring, and other great artists in history coped with regular-kid problems.

Every great artist started out as a kid. Forget the awards, the sold-out museum exhibitions, and the timeless masterpieces. When the world’s most celebrated artists were growing up, they had regular-kid problems just like you.

• Jackson Pollock’s family moved constantly—he lived in eight different cities before he was sixteen years old.
• Georgia O’Keeffe lived in the shadow of her “perfect” older brother Francis.
• And Jean-Michel Basquiat triumphed over poverty to become one of the world’s most influential artists.
