Ezra Jack Keats Foundation Celebrates 50th Anniversary Of “The Snowy Day” 

It’s a story of a boy named Peter and his adventures in the snow on a city street. The book “The Snowy Day” by Brooklyn author Ezra Jack Keats was released in 1962. It was the first children’s picture book to feature an African American as its main character.

The sweet — and familiar — simplicity of Peter’s wintry pursuits earned Keats’ “The Snowy Day” immediate accolades from readers and reviewers alike, in addition to the 1963 Caldecott Medal and eventual placement on the New York Public Library’s 100 Most Important Children’s Books of the 20th Century.

“It was an important book when it was published. It was groundbreaking. But it’s actually more important and more relevant today, which isn’t true of many 50-year-old books,” says Regina Hayes, president of Viking Children’s Books. “It influenced so many African American artists even though Ezra was not.
