# Snow: (Caldecott Honor Book) - Board Book

by **Uri Shulevitz** (Author), **Uri Shulevitz** (Illustrator)

**A Caldecott Honor Book**

"It's snowing, said boy with dog.  
_"It's only a snowflake," said grandfather with beard._

No one thinks one or two snowflakes will amount to anything. Not the man with the hat or the lady with the umbrella. Not even the television or the radio forecasters. But one boy and his dog have faith that the snow will amount to something spectacular, and when flakes start to swirl down on the city, they are also the only ones who know how to truly enjoy it.

Uri Shulevitz' playful depiction of a snowy day and the transformation of a city is perfectly captured in simple, poetic text and lively watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations.

### Author Biography

**Uri Shulevitz (1935-2025)** was a Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator and author. He was born in Warsaw, Poland, on February 27, 1935. He began drawing at the age of three and, unlike many children, never stopped. The Warsaw blitz occurred when he was four years old, and the Shulevitz family fled, as chronicled in his acclaimed memoir _Chance: Escape from the Holocaust_. For eight years they were wanderers, arriving, eventually, in Paris in 1947. There Shulevitz developed an enthusiasm for French comic books, and soon he and a friend started making their own. At thirteen, Shulevitz won first prize in an all-elementary-school drawing competition in Paris's 20th district. In 1949, the family moved to Israel, where Shulevitz worked a variety of jobs: an apprentice at a rubber-stamp shop, a carpenter, and a dog-license clerk at Tel Aviv City Hall. He studied at the Teachers' Institute in Tel Aviv, where he took courses in literature, anatomy, and biology, and also studied at the Art Institute of Tel Aviv. At fifteen, he was the youngest to exhibit in a group drawing show at the Tel Aviv Museum. At 24 he moved to New York City, where he studied painting at Brooklyn Museum Art School and drew illustrations for a publisher of Hebrew books. One day while talking on the telephone, he noticed that his doodles had a fresh and spontaneous look--different from his previous illustrations. This discovery was the beginning of Uri's new approach to his illustrations for _The Moon in My Room_, his first book, published in 1963. Since then he has written and illustrated many celebrated children's books. He won the Caldecott Medal for _The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship_, written by Arthur Ransome. He has also earned three Caldecott Honors, for _The Treasure_, _Snow_ and _How I Learned Geography_. His other books include _One Monday Morning_, _Dawn_, _So Sleepy Story_ and many others. He also wrote the instructional guide _Writing with Pictures: How to Write and Illustrate Children's Books._ Shulevitz's final book, completed shortly before his death in New York City at age eighty-nine, is _The Sky Was My Blanket: A Young Man's Journey Across Wartime Europe_, a narrative nonfiction account of the adventures of his father's brother Yehiel, who ran away from home at age fifteen, journeyed through prewar Europe for a decade, and ended up a member of the Spanish Republican Army and then the Jewish Resistance in Vichy France.
