Reach for this book when your child feels like an 'alien' in their own social circle or is struggling to find their creative voice. This biography highlights how David Bowie transformed his childhood feelings of being different into a legendary career built on self-expression and reinvention. It explores themes of identity, the courage to change your mind, and the importance of staying curious about the world. While the book follows Bowie from his working-class roots to global stardom, it emphasizes that he wasn't born a superstar: he was a hard worker who failed many times before finding success. It is a secular, age-appropriate introduction to a complex artist, focusing on his artistic bravery rather than the darker aspects of rock-and-roll history. It is perfect for children who need to see that 'weirdness' is actually a superpower.
