Review Quotes




* This laudatory biography, written by Haring'ssister, is guided by his unapologetic rejection of artistic pretension and illustratedin--what else?--a friendly and accessible cartoony style that fluidly integratesHaring's own work on subway cars and buildings, as well as in galleries. -- Horn Book, starred review

Neubecker's colorful illustrations capture the energy with which Keith [Haring] lived his life, and cleverly integrate some of the artist's original works... Always upbeat, this story is a celebration of art and life. -- Booklist

Neubecker neatly incorporates Haring's real pieces into these zesty, bustling, digital-and-pencil illustrations.... Haring's work pops; Neubecker's compositions and enthusiastic crowd scenes do it wonderful credit. -- Kirkus

An enlightening look at the merits of street art and how it allows those who may not ordinarily venture into a museum or gallery to experience and enjoy art....Children will relate to young Haring's drive to pursue his calling despite naysayers. --School Library Journal

Cheerily energetic....Schools with "Picture Person" programs, as well as primary grades art teachers, will want to share this appealing title. --BCCB

Exuberant...Neubecker (I Won a What?) combines images of Haring's work (all identified in a closing spread) with his own punchy cartooning, which dovetails perfectly with the effervescent energy that characterized Haring's imagery. --Publishers Weekly
