The Snowy Day is a beautifully realized book about a little boy named Peter experiencing his first snow storm. His 1962 book The Snowy Day changed the world of children’s literature by introducing the first African American hero. This terrific new show aims to give children who love books an immersive experience about Keats’ creative process and the close ties between his work and his life. Ezra Jack Keats is the subject of a new show at the Skirball Cultural Center – The Snowy Day and the Art of Ezra Keats, open through September 17, 2014. We’re grateful for hours of cozy reading in bed with our kids, and so always appreciate learning more about a particular author or illustrator.
