Praise for The Snowy Day:
“Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps
the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate
Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to
just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s 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
