If you read Ezra Jack Keats' The Snowy Day today to a small child today, Jumpstart's Read for the Record will donate a copy of that book to a child in need. Register at http://www.wegivebooks.org/. An easy way to share the joy of books!
My 4 yr brought home a copy of the book today because her teacher read the book to her class. Although my kids who lived through our North-of-Chicago years can picture what this kind of snow is like, my Southern Belle can only get a taste of the stuff from books like this, a gentle introduction to winter.

That's been a favorite with all of my toddlers. A most requested book when they are at the stage when they still can't ask for books by name. Why? Because when I get to the page where the snow falls on top of Peter's head, I always plop my hand onto the top of said toddler's head. It makes them laugh. They love it and ask for the book by patting their heads.
