Un día de nieve (The Snowy Day)

by Ezra Jack Keats

Overview

Traducción en español del cuento clásico ganador de la Medalla Caldecott, Un día de nieve.

Es un día de nieve y Pedro sale a explorar. Mientras pasea entre montones de nieve apilada y observa a los niños grandes jugar a tirarse bolas gigantes—descubre los surcos que dejan sus pies en la nieve espesa y lo divertido que es hacer figuras de ángeles en la nieve.

Since its initial publication, The Snowy Day has come to be regarded as both a children’s classic and one of the most important picture books ever written/illustrated.
