The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats

4.0

Peter wakes up one morning to find the entire city covered in snow. He spends the day exploring and playing until he arrives back at home, where he shares his adventures with his mother.

A classic that is hailed for being the first picture book with a black protagonist to win a major children's award. Although it was written by a white author, it is still impactful and influential. Be sure to include other, more contemporary books with black protagonists that are written by black authors on your bookshelf along with this one.
