The Snowy Day, written and illustrated by Ezra Jak Keats, was one of the first children's books in the 20th century to feature an African American child as the main character, and this year, the U.S. Postal Service released stamps that commemorate the beloved book.
Join the St. Louis Black Authors of Children's Literature Initiative to celebrate Peter, dressed in his cuddly red snow suit, and dive into a playful "snowy day" of your own at the Missouri History Museum.
