Katy and the Big Snow by Virginia Lee Burton
Katy, a brave and untiring tractor, who pushes a bulldozer in the summer and a snowplow in the winter, makes it possible for the townspeople to do their jobs.In 2009, we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Virginia Lee Burton's birth. As part of this celebration a glitter-cover edition of Katy and the Big Snow, complete with snowy stickers, has been created. In this enduring winter favorite from the Caldecott Medal winner Burton, Katy the snowplow finally gets her chance to shine when a blizzard blankets the city and everyone is relying on Katy to help dig out. This new paperback is perfect for gift giving. Children love sharing Katy's shining moment of glory and will inevitably admire her chug, chug, chug endurance.Virginia Lee Burton (1909-1968) was a gifted author and illustrator who created some of the most beloved children's books ever written. Burton's novels feature heroes and happy endings, vibrant images, and a hint of nostalgia, and he won the Caldecott Medal in 1942 for THE LITTLE HOUSE. She lived in Folly Cove, Gloucester, Massachusetts, with her two sons, Aristides and Michael, and her sculptor husband, George Demetrios. She offered a design workshop here, and the Folly Cove designers, a group of internationally recognized professional craftspeople, grew out of it. MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS STEAM SHOVEL and KATY AND THE BIG SNOW are two of her many great children's picture books.
