The Snowy Day (1962)

This book is such a cute classic story about a child exploring, discovering, and finding joy in the little things. I would use this book as a fun intro into experiencing new things and how much fun we can have when we step out of our comfort zones and try new things. ( )

This is an African-American boy named Peter, who explores his neighborhood after a snowfall. ( )

5735. The Snowy Day, by Ezra Jack Keats (read 9 Feb 2021) When I heard this book was the most requested book at the New York Public Library, I requested it from the Sioux City Public Library, It is a book for kindergartners, or maybe pre-kindergartners. It took me a minute to read. It is fiction about a Black boy who goes out on a snowy day and plays in the snow and makes a snowball and puts it in his pocket and is surprised when it melts when he comes in the house. Over 10,000 on LibraryThing have the book! ( )

We read this during our virtual morning meeting on our first snow day of the year! Big hit with my middle school kids because they rarely get to be read to anymore! It's a classic and deserves to be read more often. ( )

This is a cute book for kindergarten students, it teaches them how to be creative. Even though a huge snow storm comes, a child makes a fun day out of snow using his imagination. I would read this to encourage my students to always use there imagination and be creative. ( )
