Kay HaringKeith Haring: The Boy Who Just Kept Drawing

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.

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

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.

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

I'm a fan of Keith Haring's artwork, and I bought this for my 11 yo nephew who loves to draw. It's a cool gift for a kid interested in drawing

Took it to preschool. Learned a lot.

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!

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.
