One of my favorite authors for the preschool or elementary years is Ezra Jack Keats.
His books are timeless stories, to name a few: The Snowy Day, Whistle for Willie, Peter’s Chair, Letter to Amy, and Goggles. I have these books in my classroom library, and children love them all as they can relate to Peter the main character well.
As I have to pick one story, I picked “Snowy Day”. It is a child’s adventure on a snowy day with social emotional, science, and literature mixed together. During the cold winter days in Michigan, we basically get to enjoy the full adventure at the school.
The Snowy Day was the book we read for the Read for the Record this year on October 7! It is a great book. We had a record over 700 children come to the event locally.
