Michael Jackson's three children, (clockwise from top left to right) Prince, Paris and Blanket have made a rare public appearance for a ceremony at Children's Hospital Los Angeles on Monday (August 8), where the kids donated some of their late father's artwork to the hospital.

14-year-old Prince Jackson (born Michael Joseph Jackson Jr.), 13-year-old Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and 9-year-old Blanket Jackson (born Prince Michael Jackson II) gave away 10 autographed pieces from their famous father's collection of sketches to the hospital.

The kids were accompanied by their grandmother and now legal guardian, Katherine Jackson, and aunt, LaToya Jackson. The children also signed their own names on some of the pieces below their father's autograph.

The late king of pop's drawings depict subjects such as Mickey Mouse, furniture and other objects and will be displayed throughout the hospital walls.

The three uniquely named Jackson children have rarely been seen in public together since their father's memorial service following his sudden and tragic passing on June 25, 2009.

Prince (February 13, 1997) and sister Paris (born April 3, 1998) are the children of Jackson's ex-wife and longtime friend, Deborah Jeanne Rowe, a dermatology nurse. Jackson divorced Rowe, his second wife following his brief and highly publicized marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, in 1999 and received full custody of their two children.

Blanket, Jackson's third and youngest child was born in 2002, as the result of artificial insemination by a publicly unknown surrogate mother and Jackson's own sperm.

jackson has been slandered through his adulthood and that caused his downward spiral with the help of dr feelgood...foolish talk and accusations stand unfounded...and everything he would try to do..had this overhanging suspicion....that ruined him internally...he loved children because they are the the most innocent and not character assassiinatosr without cause...those accusing didn't and wouldn't hear what he was begging you to understand. CEASE AND DESIST...HE IS DEAD...NOW LEAVE HIM BE...LEAVE HIM BE

Thank you, kids, for showing the Grown Ups how to live in decency and dignity. On a different note, the Tribute concert for Michael Jackson started off on the wrong foot with a very convoluted ticket pricing. This is another Tribute that's taking a shot at capitalizing on Michael Jackson' s death without any shame. The trial is still going on, and as a diehard fan I'd say Justice before profits. What's the matter with the Jackson Family? They have become a runaway train, how can we trust them at this point? Even a tick stop feeding off you when you're dead! Joe Jackson has recently teamed up with a professional crook Julian Rouas to exploit Michael' s image with a new line of cheesy perfumes. Please Read:

Very selfless but perhaps the estate of Michael Jackson should be preserved & protected for his children by its executor instead of being distributed away. Why is there an executor anyway?

The Guy is gone! Please stop with the bad talk cause the ones it will hurt are his kids. As for the youngest, Blanket was not his birth name, cause if you read the article, he was given the name Prince Michael Jackson 11.

Hurting people hurt people. Michael understood that very well. That is why he loved helping children. People who talk foolishly are hurting themselves so they tear down others to cope with the fears and emptiness of their own lives. Michael passed down the lessons of love and respect of all to his children, not to mention his fortune which he earned the right way through hard work, dedication and belief in yourself. We have to pray that the foolish people wise up and learn from Michael Jackson's legacy. Blessings.

Great name, Blanket.
He's gonna whupped on a daily basis for that, not to mention his pedophile dad, who wasn't even the sperm donor.
Too funny. Jordan Chandler earned every bit of the money.
