For more than two decades, Ezra Jack Keats had kept pinned to his wall a series of photographs of an adorable African American child. In Keats's hands, the boy morphed into Peter, a boy in a red snowsuit, out enjoying the pristine snow. This book became The Snowy Day, winner of the CAldecott Medal, and the first mainstream book to feature an African American child. It was also the first of many books featuring Peter and the children of his - Keats's - urban neighborhood.
