Welcome to Litsy!

″ Crunch, crunch, crunch, his feet sank into the snow.”

This book could be fun if you live in an area where it rarely snows. This would especially be good if you have younger students.

This book captures a boys first snowfall. It has very neat illustrations and uses bright colors throughout the book. I think that the pictures look like paintings which makes this book look very special.

A snowy day is the perfect opportunity to brew homemade mulled wine with cinnamon, star anise, and cardomom and stay indoors with a good book.

“The snow was still everywhere. New snow was falling!“

I would use this book in my classroom to teach children about winter. This book shows a childs perspective on what winter entails. During winter, its cold and it snows. Due to this, we dress with hats and coats.

The use of space is conveyed in the book to show the readers how much snow there is. In each page on the story, most of the page is white to represent the snow. This is beneficial for readers who are learning about winter and snow because it explains it from a child's perspective.

“Snow had fallen during the night. It covered everything as far as he could see.“

I would use this book in my classroom to teach children about winter and what winter entails. The boy in the story describes his first experiences with snow and what his adventures entailed.

This is an award winning book about a little boy who experiences snow. He describes his first encounters with snow and his adventure. He experiments with footprints, knocking snow from a tree, creating snow angels, and trying to save a snowball for the next day.

Proud bookish mama moment 🤗

Snow is falling, house is clean, time to curl up and read ☃️

Snowy Day is a Caldecott Metal Award Winner and was one of the first children's picture books with a Black person as the protagonist.

The Snowy Day is about a boy named Peter who wakes up and sees that snow had fallen and covered the ground overnight. The story follows Peter and his adventures throughout the day as he plays in the snow. He goes inside to warm up and realizes the snowball he put in his pocket for the following day is gone. He is sad about this, but wakes up the next morning to more snow covering the ground. He realizes he gets to do it all over again.

This book was published in 1962 and is a Caldecott winner. This is a lighthearted book about a young boy who goes out and plays in the snow. This is one of the first books to use a black child of the protagonist. I will definitely use this in my classroom!

Written by Ezra Jack Keats, Snowy Day is one of the first children's book to have a black protagonist. This book was written in 1962, and is still a great read for the first snowfall of the year! It is a book that takes us through what children typically do on a snow day. This book has won a Caldecott award. Great read for children!

“But when he woke up his dream was gone. The snow was still everywhere. New snow was falling!“

A super cute story about Peter's snowy day outside!

I 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.

I‘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.
