Many of Keats' stories illustrate family life and the simple pleasures that a child has in his daily routine. "Jennie's Hat" illustrates the excitement of a child waiting for a present, and the anticipation of what the present would look like. In "Louie", a child learns to cope with moving away from his old neighborhood, and that he can make new ones ("The Trip"). "Goggles" tells the story of finding a pair of goggles, and the chase that follows the boys through the streets of a neighborhood, when the big bullies want to snatch the goggles from them.

Keats illustrated over 85 books for children, also writing the stories for 24 of them. The Ezra Jack Keats Archive is housed at
