**New York Public Library's #1 book on the list of "Top Check Outs of All Time"**

In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. The quiet fun and sweetness of Peter's small adventures in the deep, deep snow is perfect for reading together on a cozy winter day.

Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as _Goggles_, _A Letter to Amy_, _Pet Show!_, _Peter's Chair_, and _A Whistle for Willie_.

(This book is also available in Spanish, as _Un dia de nieve._)  

**Praise for _The Snowy Day_**  
"Keats made Peter's world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more--a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just _be_ outside, surrounded by snow that's begging to be enjoyed." --_The Atlantic_

"Ezra Jack Keats's classic _The Snowy Day_, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."--_Publisher's Weekly_
