入选纽约公共图书馆「每个人都必须知道的100本图画书」The Snowy Day, a 1963 Caldecott Medal winner, is the simple taleof a boy waking up to discover that snow has fallen during thenight. Keats's illustrations, using cut-outs, watercolors, andcollage, are strikingly beautiful in their understated color andcomposition. The tranquil story mirrors the calm presence of thepaintings, and both exude the silence of a freshly snow-coveredlandscape. The little boy celebrates the snow-draped city with aday of humble adventures--experimenting with footprints, knockingsnow from a tree, creating snow angels, and trying to save asnowball for the next day. Awakening to a winter wonderland is anageless, ever-magical experience, and one made nearly visceral byKeats's gentle tribute.
The book is notable not only for its lovely artwork and tone, butalso for its importance as a trailblazer. According to Horn Bookmagazine, The Snowy Day was "the very first full-color picture bookto feature a small black hero"--yet another reason to add thisclassic to your shelves. It's as unique and special as asnowflake.
