The Snowy Day

The Snowy Day is a landmark of children's literature. Ezra Jack Keats' Caldecott Medal-winning picture book — first published in 1962 — was a groundbreaking celebration of childhood wonder and one of the first mainstream picture books to feature a Black child as its hero. Quiet, warm, and utterly timeless.

Follow young Peter as he ventures out into a fresh snowfall, discovering the simple magic of a winter day — tracks in the snow, a snowball saved in his pocket, and the pure joy of being a kid in the cold. Keats' iconic collage-style illustrations make every page feel like a work of art.
