520    "A celebration of the extraordinary life of Ezra Jack 
       Keats, creator of The Snowy Day. The story of The Snowy 
       Day begins more than one hundred years ago, when Ezra Jack
       Keats was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. The family were 
       struggling Polish immigrants, and despite Keats's obvious 
       talent, his father worried that Ezra's dream of being an 
       artist was an unrealistic one. But Ezra was determined. By
       high school he was winning prizes and scholarships. Later,
       jobs followed with the WPA and Marvel comics. But it was 
       many years before Keats's greatest dream was realized and 
       he had the opportunity to write and illustrate his own 
       book.  For more than two decades, Ezra had kept pinned to 
       his wall a series of photographs of an adorable African 
       American child. In Keats's hands, the boy morphed into 
       Peter, a boy in a red snowsuit, out enjoying the pristine 
       snow; the book became The Snowy Day, winner of the 
       Caldecott Medal, the first mainstream book to feature an 
       African American child. It was also the first of many 
       books featuring Peter and the children of his -- and 
       Keats's -- neighborhood.  Andrea Davis Pinkney's lyrical 
       narrative tells the inspiring story of a boy who pursued a
       dream, and who, in turn, inspired generations of other 
       dreamers"--|cProvided by publisher.
