![]() His inspiration came from four photos, arranged almost like comic panels, in a 1940 issue of Life magazine. The Snowy Day was published in 1976, but Keats found his first piece of inspiration for the book in 1940. It’s the perfect book on the subject: the colors are vivid (because a snowy day doesn’t have to be gray), the story is quiet (because snow makes everything sound like a whisper) and the text is simple (because wonder doesn’t have to be complicated). Of course, the first and most important board book that I could suggest has to be The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. You could read those books with your little one and pass on the wonder. ![]() In the event that you’re finding yourself shut in to protect against a very cold world, I thought it would be fun to suggest some books that might help you look out your window and see the sparkle instead of the slush. ![]()
