The Little Drummer Boy by Ezra Jack Keats

The Little Drummer Boy by Ezra Jack Keats

A procession travels to Bethlehem, bringing gifts for the newborn baby Jesus. The little drummer boy comes along, although he is too poor to bring a present fit for a king. Instead, he plays a song on his drum for the Christ Child. Within the little drummer boy's seemingly simple gift lies the true spirit of Christmas. Ezra Jack Keats' vivid, jewel-toned artwork perfectly illustrates this classic holiday carol. Music for the song appears at the back of the book. "Keats evocatively portrays this story." -Publishers Weekly

The Snowy Day, written by Ezra Jack Keats (1916-1983), won the Caldecott Award in 1962 as one of the first picture books for young children to depict a realistic, multi-cultural urban milieu. The Snowy Day has become a children's classic as well as one of the most important picture books ever written/illustrated since its first release. Peter, the star of The Snowy Day, Whistle for Willie, Peter's Chair, A Letter to Amy, Goggles, and other works by Ezra Jack Keats, lives on in the popularity of his most renowned figure.
