The Snowy Day

The Snowy Day, a 1963 Caldecott Medal winner, is the simple tale of a boy waking up to discover that snow has fallen during the night. Author and Illustrator Ezra Jack Keats uses cut-outs, watercolors, and collage, are strikingly beautiful in their understated color and composition. The little boy celebrates the snow-draped city with a day of humble adventures--experimenting with footprints, knocking snow from a tree, creating snow angels, and trying to save a snowball for the next day. Written and Illustrated by Ezra Jack Keats. Paperback; 30 pages.
