The Kids are the Stars – WHY CHILDREN’S ART DESERVES OUR FULL ATTENTION
Just in time for the opening of Germany’s largest children’s art exhibition on September 28, 2025, the non-profit association Kunst für Angeln e.V. is publishing a special book: “The Kids are the Stars – Why Children’s Art Deserves Our Full Attention.”
The publication is dedicated to the profound significance of children’s creativity and vividly illustrates why it is essential to give children early, unrestricted access to artistic expression and space for their imagination.
The book movingly combines works by young artists from the age of 3 with well-founded contributions from the fields of art education and psychology, as well as commentaries from artists, parents, and children. It demonstrates that children’s art is not just cute – it is bold, free, original, often surprising, and a mirror of our society seen through the eyes of the youngest.
“Children need spaces where they can experiment, create, and dream without judgment. Creativity is not a luxury – it is a basic human need,” emphasizes Ingrid Roosen-Trinks, initiator of the book project and board member of Kunst für Angeln e.V.
The release of “The Kids are the Stars” coincides with the grand opening of Germany’s largest children’s art exhibition, which shares the same title and showcases hundreds of works by young talents aged 3 to 14. The goal of the exhibition is to give children’s creative voices a public platform and to reinvigorate the social discourse on aesthetic education and creative self-expression.
The book “The Kids are the Stars” will be available starting September 28, 2025 – on-site at the exhibition, through the association Kunst für Angeln e.V., and in well-stocked bookstores.
Pre-orders are already being accepted by the association.
