The Snowy Day

Ezra Jack Keats · 1962
American

A boy named Peter wakes to a snowy Brooklyn morning and goes out: makes a snow angel, drags a stick, climbs a small mountain, puts a snowball in his pocket. Keats's Caldecott winner, and the first picture book from a major American publisher with a Black child as its hero.
