The Snowy Day | Picture Book | Ages 2-5

A quiet celebration of childhood wonder.

When Peter wakes to find the world covered in snow, an ordinary day becomes an adventure—footprints to make, snowbanks to climb, and a whole white world waiting to be explored.

The Snowy Day captures something children know instinctively: that the simplest things can feel magical when they’re discovered for the first time. Gentle, beautiful, and timeless, it’s a story families return to winter after winter.
