Description Long before multicultural characters and themes were fashionable, Ezra Jack Keats crossed social boundaries by being the first American picture-book maker to give the black child a central place in children’s literature. The characters in Keats’s books come from the community around him and his own experience growing up.

This bundle includes the following books: The Snowy Day Whistle for Willie Peter’s Chair A Letter to Amy Pet Show! “
