The Snowy Day
Danny Says
This book won the Caldecott in the 30s, and it is still a great book for kids today. Not only does it have beautiful illustrations: it is the perfect book for this February. The groundhog saw his shadow, which reminds us there are six more weeks of winter. This is also Black History Month, and – correct me if I’m wrong, librarians – I believe this book was the first illustrated children’s book in color that features a main character who is African-American.
