Banksy Graffitied Walls and Wasn't Sorry
Millions of people know his work but no one really knows who Banksy is – his true identity remains a complete secret.
Told as a clever first-person autobiography, this entertaining biography captures the spirit and mysterious nature of one of the world's most enigmatic contemporary artists. Fausto Gilberti's distinctive black-and-white illustrations bring life, intrigue and whimsy to Banksy's story, depicting the hooded artist as a mischievous figure, perfectly embodying both his anonymity and his cheeky reputation.
The book explores Banksy's most famous exploits, from his subversive street art to his elaborate projects like Dismaland, his "Better Out Than In" residency in New York, and the painting that famously self-destructed in a shredder after being sold at auction. Through playful illustrations and accessible storytelling, children discover how Banksy uses spray paint and stencils to create powerful art that challenges conventions and speaks to people around the world.
This book shows children that art doesn't just belong in museums – sometimes the streets are your canvas, and creativity can flourish anywhere. A perfect introduction to the idea that art can be rebellious, meaningful, and wonderfully surprising.
Suitable for children aged 4-7 years.
