I absolutely love the artwork in The Snowy Day<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

If you aren’t familiar with Ezra Jack Keats’<\/a>\u00a0artwork it is definitely worth checking out a few of his books from the library. Using a mixture of cut-outs, watercolors, and collage your children can illustrate and write\u00a0their own “Snowy Day” type book.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

In\u00a0The Snowy Day<\/a>\"\"\u00a0a little boy, Peter, wakes up to a winter wonderland and spends the day exploring his city. He does all the typical\u00a0snow day things like make snow angels, trying to save a snowball, and knocking snow from the limbs of a tree.<\/p>\n

In our homeschool we used this book for art more than reading, but my kids always enjoyed the story, especially when they didn’t have many snowy days of their own!<\/p>\n
