pickI really liked this book! It was a super cute story that just makes your heart feel good. The illustrations are super cute and detailed as well. I would read this story to my students during the winter time!
Really looking forward to FaceTime story time with my 3 month old granddaughter today. They live in the Midwest and I am in Texas.
1. F@#$ no.
2. Sitting in my warm house, with a hot cup of coffee, reading a good book, occasionally looking out the window and being glad to not be out in the snow.

pickI‘d never read this picture book classic before this year. I loved the simplicity and the sense of wonder, and I also adored all the rich colours in the illustrations. Love the iconic red snowsuit.

When I think of seasonal books & #red I think about Peter‘s red snowsuit in The Snowy Day. It‘s one of my favorite children‘s books & I coveted that read snowsuit.😍 I loved when they brought out the Forever stamps honoring the book & author a few years ago. Red book 📕❤️
Finally have the courage to start posting again. Winter is my favorite time of year ☃️
1) The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. Cute children‘s picture book.
2) Yes!! It‘s beautiful to see freshly laid snow in the morning.

Whelp, looks like it‘s a reading day.
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is a realistic fiction story that won a Caldecott Metal. This story is about a young boy named Peter that wakes up to find heavy snowfall. Excited to play, Peter goes outside in his red snow clothes. Although Peter is too young to play in a snowball fight, he finds his own fun in making snow angels and snowmen. This story would be great for an author study because there is so much to learn about Keats and how he
pickThe Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is a RF book and a Caldecott Medal Winner. It is a book about a little boy waking up to snow in his neighborhood and exploring.

Gift - I bought some new undies. I‘ve decided this year I‘m replacing all my undies. 🩲
Date - I had lunch and shopping with my SO daughter
Reread The Snowy Day - my fav childhood book
I‘ve started spring cleaning my living room. I hope to finish it up today.
To be fair - I nap on most days. 😴
The current view from my window. I have to leave for work in an hour. I can honestly say, I‘ve never looked forward to anything less. My BIL texted me this morning that our parking lot at work hadn‘t been plowed. But that was around 6-I‘m hoping they‘ve gotten to it by now. Pretty sure the snow is deeper than my boots.
It snowed like 6 inches in Portland this weekend. Charlie is not thrilled. I, on the other hand, have the perfect excuse to snuggle up on the couch and read. Ha! Like I really need an excuse?

After unearthing our car, a snowball flew my way. What a delight to engage in a snowball fight!
Still snowing... I have no intentions of going out there until the landlord moves the snow away ⛄️
Front door view... debating on whether or not I should shovel now or later... the books are calling louder than the shovel... 😂
Stay safe and comfy, fellow northeasterners!!!
NBR. My Christmas wish for snow came true today-the biggest flake clusters I‘ve seen in a long time❄️❄️ Good day for warm beverages, blankets, and books. Have a blessed day!

One of my favorite kids books of all time!
1. I do not live somewhere with snow, but this is the last time I was in WI in the winter. Me and my mom skiing in 2018. I miss snow too!
2. Yes! I think 4... My first few years were not very active, but love Litsy! I love having endless suggestions for fabulous books to read and the amazing litsy community 🥰

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView
1. Not anymore, but this photo is from when I lived in northern VA a few years ago (maybe 2016?). My Lil D used to love bounding around in the snow.
2. 4 years? I love the friendships I‘ve made. ❤️❤️❤️
The post office had The Snow Day stamps when I went in for holiday stamps. Did I have to buy a book of stamps of a childhood favorite by an author best known for bringing multiculturalism and black characters into children's literature? Yes. Absolutely.
