The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. This 50th Anniversary Commemorative Edition celebrates the classic beloved by generations of readers and listeners. 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. The Snowy Day transformed children's literature with its pioneering portrayal of an African-American child and the charming story and artwork that won it the Caldecott Medal. Fifty years later, Viking proudly celebrates Peter's adventure in this very special edition. Featuring eight pages of bonus material and a festive cover, this oversized edition of Keats's beloved book is a must-have. 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 : New York Public Library's #1 book on the list of “Top Check Outs of All Time” “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
Ezra Jack Keats (www.ezra-jack-keats.org), who died in 1983, was one of the first people to create a realistic, friendly, multi-ethnic urban setting in picture books for young children. His legacy lives on in the popularity of his most famous character, Peter - the star of The Snowy Day, Whistle for Willie, Peter's Chair, A Letter to Amy, Goggles , and others.

You will love it.
Absolutely adorable book.I bought it as inspiration, it was correct. There is an addition about the author. When I read that for the first time on kindle for PC, the first page texts of the addition could not zoom but next day it was possible to zoom.

見るたびにわくわくしてしまう絵本です
雪の日のわくわくした子供の心を描いたストーリーはさることながら、温かみのある配色の絵に魅了されました。 真っ白な雪と頭のとんがった真っ赤なスノウスーツを着た男の子。 淡いピンクやブルーの雪の結晶。 男の子のパジャマや壁紙の模様など、デザインがとても素敵で何度も眺めてしまいます。 冬の間中、お部屋に飾っていたい絵本です。

落ち着いた静かな感じの本
雪の日にﾋﾟｰﾀｰが外でいろいろな遊びをするお話。雪を生まれて初めてみた息子（一歳位の時）を毛布でぐるぐる巻きにして外にいすを持って行ってで雪を眺めながら読んであげました。ﾋﾟｰﾀｰのしていることが連想できるのかじーっと聞いていました。それ以来何度も読んでと持ってくるようになった本です。

Klein aber fein
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.
