Keith Haring: The Boy Who Just Kept Drawing

I was thrilled when my third grader came home from school and asked me to get this book out of the library for him - so thrilled that I ordered him his own copy right away! This book, written by Keith Haring's sister, is honest and true to his biography, but also carries a broader message about finding your passion and giving to others. There is vibrant artwork throughout, and the story is well written and easy to follow. Keith Haring has always been one of my favorites, and it has been a pleasure to share this interest with my son.

Awesome read!

My whole family loves this book! As an art teacher and mom, I was so excited to see this new book. I've already used it in my art camp this summer and my children ask for it to be read to them multiple times a day. The quote from Keith at the end brought tears to my eyes. Kay has made something so beautiful- a tribute to Keith and her knowing and loving him and growing up with him, a tribute to his life, work, and art, and just an amazing and beautiful story. I've never recommended a children's book more strongly.

I brought this as a gift for my husband me he absolutely loved it!!!! A very nice present for the fans :)

Great children’s book about one of my favorite artists. A lot of information packed into an age appropriate format that keeps Mr. Haring’s legacy alive.

Got this for my nibling for third birthday. Their Dad and I got to share our excitement about having this story for little one. Many of us who were kids in the 80s know Haring's work even if we don't know his name. I think PeeWee even used a little of it in his intro. It's important to us for the young ones to have art history and LGBTQIA+ history, especially about people lost during the HIV crisis. I've heard reports that Little One and Dad have been making doodles like Haring since they read this book. I could not be prouder!

Harings iconic genius is well represented in this superb book with art and story.

Took it to preschool. Learned a lot.

Dieses liebevoll gestaltete Buch bringt ins, und vor allem Kindern, den Künstler Keith Häring näher.

Excellent book written by the sister of artist Keith Haring. Hardcover. Included throughout the pages are samples of his artwork with an explanation of each piece at the back of the book. Really captures who Keith Haring was and what he believed about art. This book can be used with pretty well any age group and brings up so many points to facilitate discussions on a wide number of topics relating to the process and 'doing' of art. It also speaks to the notion of kindness towards others. So glad I came across this book.

Endearing story of Keith's artistic career that I've read with my french pupils.

Excelente

I bought this book for 2 little girls 4 and 6. It's easy to read, beautifully illustrated in Keith's iconic style. For those who don't know much about him, it's a useful introduction. I💓Haring.
