The Snowy Day
by Ezra Jack Keats
Buy on AmazonKeats’ wonderful 1962 story is a true classic I remember from growing up. I was — and continue to be — drawn to both the simplicity of the story (a boy, Peter, takes a walk in the snow) and the, at the time rare, representation of someone whose skin color is like my own. Nearly sixty years after it was first published, I still find the book beautiful.
