About the Authors or Illustrators
An American author and illustrator of children's books, Ezra Jack Keats illustrated jackets for adult and juvenile books and provided drawings for almost a dozen children's books by other authors before he wrote The Snowy Day (1962), one of the first picture books in which the central character is a minority child. It won the Caldecott Medal.
