The Snowy Day, by Ezra Jack Keats -- Day 1

Peter awakes to a snowfall covering his neighborhood and the possibility this new day brings. He embarks on an adventure, making tracks, knocking snow off the trees–plop!–sliding down hills, pocketing a snowball. He returns to a warm, loving home, bath and bed. Awaking to snow again the next day, he invites a friend to explore with him. The Snowy Day was created by Ezra Jack Keats, who received the Caldecott Medal for this book in 1963. This landmark picture book is timeless, beloved by children and their adults for all sorts of wonderful reasons. Ages 2 up.
