Whistle for Willie by Ezra Jack Keats
Since it was first published in 1964, Whistle for Willie has delighted millions of young readers with its simple writing and its striking collage artwork depicting the story of Peter, who longs to whistle for his dog. The New York Times wrote: "Mr. Keats's illustrations boldly, colorfully capture the child, his city world, and the shimmering heat of a summer's day."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.
