The Snowy Day
By Keats, Ezra Jack
The magic and wonder of winters first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keats Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. This celebrated classic has been shared by generations of readers and listeners, a must-have for every childs bookshelf and a perfect gift for the holiday season. New York Public Librarys #1 book on the list of "Top Check Outs of All Time" 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.) Praise for The Snowy Day: "Keats made Peters world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more - a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow thats begging to be enjoyed." - The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keatss classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow." - Publishers Weekly

Snowflake Bentley
By Martin, Jacqueline Briggs
In this Caldecott Medal-winning picture book, the true story of Wilson Bentley and his singular fascination with snowflakes is rendered in rich prose and gorgeous artwork, perfect for the holidays, snow days, and everyday. Wilson Bentley was always fascinated by snow. In childhood and adulthood, he saw each tiny crystal of a snowflake as a little miracle and wanted to understand them. His parents supported his curiosity and saved until they could give him his own camera and microscope. At the time, his enthusiasm was misunderstood. But with patience and determination, Wilson catalogued hundreds of snowflake photographs, gave slideshows of his findings and, when he was 66, published a book of his photos. His work became the basis for all we know about beautiful, unique snowflakes today. This biographical tribute to a very special farmer is the perfect holiday gift or snow day read.
