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 childs wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. The quiet fun and sweetness of Peters 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!, Peters Chair, and A Whistle for Willie.
(This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.)
