Nonfiction Children’s Book Gold Award ★ A 2022 Texas Topaz Nonfiction Reading List selection Often seen drawing in white chalk on the matte black paper of unused advertising space in the subway, Haring’s iconic pop art and graffiti-like style transformed the New York City underground in the 1980s. A member of the LGBTQ community, Haring died tragically at the age of thirty-one from AIDS-related complications. This honest, celebratory book honors Haring’s life and art, along with his very special connection with kids. Thoughtfully written by Matthew Burgess, the much-acclaimed author of Enormous Smallness, and marking the debut picture book of illustrator Josh Cochran—himself a specialist in bright, dense, conceptual drawings—this book is truly a joyful veneration of the transformative power of art.
