From award-winning author Matthew Burgess and debut illustrator Sirin Thada a picture book
biography of music icon Prince from childhood to superstardom that crackles with electricity
and soul Prince is remembered as one of the greatest musicians and performers of all time.
But before he achieved global superstardom he was a child growing up in Minneapolis with a
universe of music inside him. From his first forays into writing songs with his school friends
to his unprecedented three-album record deal at 19 and his surprise hit film Purple Rain to
performing at the Super Bowl Prince was never afraid to blaze his own trail—creating something
entirely new entirely free and entirely PRINCE that would shape music and culture and
resonate with audiences for generations to come.
