I personally find the art of children a lot more interesting than 99% of highly skilled adult artists who work in a "realistic" style.

Children's art usually has a freshness, originality, and vibrancy that's missing from highly skilled adult art.

I had to get over my worship of realism before I could appreciate it, though, and I find it very sad that most non-artists are still stuck at valuing art only by how realistic it looks.
