The Snowy Day, by Ezra Jack Keats
Running out into the first powdery white snow of the year is one of winter’s great joys. This iconic book lets you experience the magic of that morning along with Peter, without the headache of shoveling or the gray dirty slush piles (a particularly gritty hazard in New York City) that show up in the next day. I’m ready to move in!
