satyridae's review against another edition
4.0
I don't know how I missed this one, but I read it for the first time today and loved it. Peter is such an endearing character, and Willie is one of my favorite literary doges.

Peter's birthday is coming up and, naturally, he's excited. All his friends will be there but he wants to make especially sure that one in particular attends: Amy, the girl who lives in the flat above him. Unlike with all his male friends, Peter wants to personal write Amy an invitation so that it's special. Outside it's raining and blowing a gale and what if Amy sees his posting the invitation?
In contrast to [b:The Snowy Day|310258|The Snowy Day|Ezra Jack Keats|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1347624377s/310258.jpg|51286], Keats delivers a beautiful, stormy city and one lived in and loved by the children judging by the graffiti on the fences and chalk drawings on the floor. We follow Peter is his bright yellow mac as he chases the wind-swept invitation as it is blown through his block's streets.
As with all Keat's work, there is a celebration here of racial diversity but, equally, it is a story that brims with heart.
