The Ezra Jack Keats Foundation fosters children's love of reading and creative self-expression in a multicultural world. The Foundation supports arts and literacy programs in public schools and libraries, cultivates new writers and illustrators of exceptional picture books that reflect the experience of childhood in our diverse culture, and protects and promotes the groundbreaking work of Keats, the first illustrator and author to break the color barrier in mainstream children's literature.
