About Kid's Books

The Kid's Books collection at Art Noise in Kingston, Ontario brings together art-themed picture books, how-to drawing guides, creative prompts, colouring books and playful activity titles chosen to spark imagination and hands-on making. You will find beginner art books, step-by-step drawing, painting and origami guides, sticker and colouring books, and stories about artists, design and creativity. These titles are ideal for children, families, schools, art schools, camps and art therapists who want low-mess, screen-free ways for kids to explore art, crafts and visual storytelling. Pair a how-to drawing book or graphic novel guide with kids drawing tools, paints and paper so young makers can try each technique as they read. Many books fit easily into classroom libraries and resource corners and make thoughtful gifts for curious kids who love to make and read. As a local, independent Canadian store, Art Noise curates kid’s books that support creative confidence, diverse stories and practical skills, so you can build a mini art library at home, in the classroom or in your studio.
