- Littmann, Klaus (ed.): Keith Haring - Editions on Paper 1982-1990/Das Druckgraphische Werk, Ostfildern-Ruit 1997, pp. 128-133

- Complete portfolio that shows Haring's appreciation for children and his own playful nature
- The cheerful and sometimes obscure motifs paint a picture of childlike development in duality with adult presence
- The exploration of social issues runs through Haring's entire oeuvre, promoting a shared humanity
- In the symbolic picture story, the colours red and blue merge into a hopeful purple
