The magic and wonder of winters first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keats Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. This celebrated classic has been shared by generations of readers and listeners, a must-have for every childs bookshelf and a perfect gift for the holiday season. New York Public Library's #1 book on the list of Top Check Outs of All Time In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. The quiet fun and sweetness of Peters small adventures in the deep, deep snow is perfect for reading together on a cozy winter day.   Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peters Chair, and A Whistle for Willie.   (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.)   Praise for The Snowy Day: Keats made Peters world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even morea kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow thats begging to be enjoyed. The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."Publisher's Weekly
