He grew up in Moscow where he studied fine art, design, and architecture. In 1982 he immigrated to New York (later becoming an American citizen), where he continued his work as a graphic designer, producing mainly art books for several of New York's publishers and art galleries.
Starting from his very first children’s book the main distinguishing characteristic of Radunsky's style became apparent. Extremely varied subjects, both in prose and poetry, provoked him to use different techniques and styles, ranging from realistic painting to abstract collages. In his own words, " The technique and style I choose in every new book depends entirely on its subject. I don't draw pictures, I make books."

Recently, Radunsky has been moving farther and farther away from the traditional picture books, and into other more innovative forms. His interactive book "Le Grand Bazar", published in Paris by Edition du Panama, subtitled "For people with imagination age 5 to 105", invites the reader to get creative with scissors, pen, and stapler. Or the book “Boy Meets Girl”, in collaboration with Chris Raschka, published by Chronicle, which assumes being read forward, backward, upside down, and inside out. The most recent example is a work published by HarperCollins of hip-hop poetry for children, where the graffiti art has migrated from the walls into a printed book.
Vladimir Radunsky has published more than thirty books for children, mostly in the U.S. Many of them were translated and published in France, UK, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, and Japan. The books received numerous awards in the United States and in Europe, among them The New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of the Year, and have been on the New York Times bestseller list. The original art from the books is being exhibited in France, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, and the US.
