The Story of Ezra Jack Keats and the Creation of The Snowy Day
Before Peter stepped into the snow in his bright red snowsuit, Ezra Jack Keats was a boy with a dream of becoming an artist.
A Poem for Peter tells the story of Keats, the creator of The Snowy Day, and the long path that led to one of the most beloved picture books in American children’s literature. Born into a struggling immigrant family in Brooklyn, Keats followed his talent through setbacks, jobs, and years of persistence before creating a book that brought an African American child into the center of a snowy, everyday adventure.
Written in lyrical language, this biography is ideal for readers who love art, books, and stories about creative determination. It celebrates imagination, representation, and the making of a modern classic.
