Toys & Candy Old World Christmas | The Snowy Day Board Book

The Snowy Day, A 1963 Caldecott Medal Winner, Is The Simple Tale Of A Boy Waking Up To Discover That Snow Has Fallen During The Night. Keats’S Illustrations, Using Cut-Outs, Watercolors, And Collage, Are Strikingly Beautiful In Their Understated Color And Composition. The Tranquil Story Mirrors The Calm Presence Of The Paintings, And Both Exude The Silence Of A Freshly Snow-Covered Landscape. The Little Boy Celebrates The Snow-Draped City With A Day Of Humble Adventures–Experimenting With Footprints, Knocking Snow From A Tree, Creating Snow Angels, And Trying To Save A Snowball For The Next Day. Awakening To A Winter Wonderland Is An Ageless, Ever-Magical Experience, And One Made Nearly Visceral By Keats’S Gentle Tribute.

The Book Is Notable Not Only For Its Lovely Artwork And Tone, But Also For Its Importance As A Trailblazer. According To Horn Book Magazine, The Snowy Day Was “The Very First Full-Color Picture Book To Feature A Small Black Hero”–Yet Another Reason To Add This Classic To Your Shelves. It’S As Unique And Special As A Snowflake.
