Starboy

Inspired by the Life and Lyrics of David Bowie

By: Jami Gigot

Narrated by: Mike Cooper

A starry-eyed ode to self-expression and staying true to yourself, inspired by the life and lyrics of beloved icon David Bowie.

For as long as David could remember, he felt like a stranger on his own planet.
As if he’d fallen to Earth from outer space…

David Bowie is one of the most influential artists of our time, beloved for his joyful self-expression and fierce individuality. But how did he come to be this iconic Starman, celebrated by millions around the world?

Inspired by the life and lyrics of David Bowie, author-illustrator Jami Gigot imagines the story of a lonely young boy enchanted by the music of the stars—yet no one else can hear the shimmy-shake rhythm that moves through his body. At first misunderstood and ignored, David ultimately finds the courage to be true to himself, sparking a dazzling revolution…

At once vibrantly imaginative and true to the spirit of Bowie, Starboy is about embracing your individuality and discovering the cosmic rhythm that hums within each of us.

The Birth of Ziggy Stardust

I cried throughout this entire story. Mostly because my love for David Bowie and his Beautiful
And Magical Soul and Creative Genius But mostly because of His Space Aged Alien Rockstar Ziggy Stardust Creation which David brought to Life and made this young Girl in the Seventies fall
In love with ! To actually believe that Ziggy was an Actual being apart from David Bowie only shows how much of David truly was a part of Ziggys persona and life force. I know I’m not alone in this revelation and belief. I still love snd believe Ziggy to a Real life being separate from its creator David Bowie. Perhaps this this a different way of more beautiful way to look at David’s biggest fear Schitzafania ! If this is true Omg to have had the magical experience to know and Love Ziggy Stardust as millions and millions of others strung the world is such an Amazing Gift from David. I believe that all of us Artists or people who felt like thru were different snd did not feel like they came fri this planet. Like Me are Also beholden to Ziggy for showing is thst not only is it cool to be different but also Magical. This is how I felt about this book short but it was truly Magical. Recommend to all Bowie and Ziggy Lovers like me.
