Long before multicultural characters and themes were commonplace, Ezra Jack Keats crossed social boundaries by being the first American picture-book maker to give black children a central place in children’s literature.
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats; 1962
I had ALL the Ezra Jack Keats books growing up, and routinely buy them as gifts for my friend’s baby showers/children’s birthdays. I’m particularly fond of Hi Cat.
