What this book is about
Ezra Jack Keats's 1962 Caldecott Medal-winning picture book follows young Peter through a snowy city morning — making footprints, watching snowball fights, sliding down a snow hill, and bringing a snowball inside (only to find it gone the next day). The book was groundbreaking in its joyful depiction of a young Black child as protagonist in a picture book. A masterpiece of the genre appropriate for all ages.
