Drawing on Walls: A Story of Keith Haring

Reach for this book when your child starts using every blank space (including the furniture) as a canvas, or when they ask why people make art in public spaces. This biography follows Keith Haring from a boy who loved to draw with his father to an artist who shared his vibrant vision with the whole world. It celebrates the idea that art belongs to everyone, not just those in fancy galleries. While it is a story of immense creativity and joy, it also touches on Haring's identity and his commitment to social justice. It is an excellent choice for kids aged 4 to 9 who are discovering their own unique voice. Parents will appreciate how it balances the fun of street art with the deeper message that one person's passion can build a community and advocate for change.
