About

A small boy's quiet delight upon waking one winter morning to find the earth covered with snow is captured with simplicity in The Snowy Day. The use of bright colors combined with collage is as simple and fitting as the text. The result is a well designed book for the young child with a warmth, a quietness, and a joy that mirrors what each child at one time may have felt.
