The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. This celebrated classic has been shared by generations of readers and listeners, a must-have for every child’s bookshelf and a perfect gift for the holiday season.

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

I absolutely love gifting the book "The Snowy Day Board Book" for baby showers when I'm putting together a first library. It's such a heartwarming story that sparks the imagination and brings joy to both children and parents alike. It's definitely a must-have addition to any little one's book collection, and I'm always thrilled to see it make the cut.

This was my baby’s favorite book at 9 months. We had the paper version, and he ripped it to shreds, so I was excited to see this as a board book.

The book follows a little boy as he plays in and explores the snow mostly by himself. I add sound effects, which I think my son likes.

Beautiful short story. I wanted a book with a little black boy protagonist, that didn't problematize / fetishize / highlight blackness, as so many of the contemporary books do. I bought this intending for it to be that special book we read during the Christmas period, every year. But my son so loved the book, we were even reading it during the heatwave! Lovely, charming story - a little boy enjoying the snow, his mum and friend make brief appearancs. Lovely simple, sweet images. My son was about 18 months old when I first bought it and he loved it from the first reading. I bought the large board book version which is very nice quality and I imagine this is the type of book one hands down through the generations.

Vor allem durch die Geschehnisse der letzten Wochen in den USA ist uns bewusst geworden, dass wir genau 0 Bücher haben, in denen auch Kinder mit anderen ethnischen Hintergründen vorkommen. Es ist bewiesen, dass die Bevorzugung der eigenen "Farbe" schon im Säuglingsalter beginnt und Kinder auch schon im Kleinkindalter lieber mit Anderen spielen die ihnen am ähnlichsten sind, so beginnt Rassismus. Es ist aber auch schon belegt, dass man dem entgegen wirken kann, indem man Kinder von Anfang an multikulturellen "Möglichkeiten" aussetzt.
Gesagt, getan, Bücher, Filme, Spiele gesucht und gekauft die auch endlich mal andere Kinder in den Vordergund rücken. Unser 2 Jähriger sieht endlich auch afrikanische, asiatische, indische, etc. Kinder die ihre Abenteuer erleben und Geschichten erzählen. Er sieht, dass es normal ist, und dass es mehr als "nur" uns gibt.

Dieses Buch ist ein kleines Buch mit Kartonseiten die bestimmt viel aushalten. Man kann sie auch schon einem kleinen Kind schenken. Es geht um Peter, der das erste Mal Schnee erlebt und sich Abenteuer vorstellt. Es ist sehr süß gemacht und wir werden definitiv wieder Bücher von diesem Autor kaufen.

Unser Sohn liebt Bücher, er hat das Buch bekommen und er hat gleich nach dem fertig lesen wieder zum Anfang geblättert und von Vorne angefangen. Er liebt Peters Abenteuer und ich freue mich schon sehr auf die nächsten Bücher die wir bestellt haben.
