The Magic of a Snow Day and More!

The award-winning children's book by Ezra Jack Keats has already enjoyed an animated adaptation on Netflix, and now The Snowy Day and Other Stories is headed to a stage near you! A show for three-to-nine-year-olds, this wonderful production celebrates everything special about first experiences. Become enchanted with the tale of a small child growing up in the big city, experiencing their first snowfall, a first pet, and a first crush.

A Snowy Day was first published in 1962 and is notable for being the first picture book featuring an African American protagonist. Just one of four Keats’ phenomenally successful books, his work garnered two Caldecott Awards and remains an important part of African American literature after five decades. Its animated movie special was narrated by Laurence Fishburne and featured music from soul band Boyz II Men.
