I ordered a bunch of Geisel Award winner books for Jonathan (and eventually Elise too) as Christmas gifts from Uncle Ed/Aunt Mary, and the first batch arrived today. One of the books was a board book version of "A Snowy Day." Jonathan immediately recognized it and yelled: "Ezra Jack Keats! He's the author and illustrator!" I asked him to repeat himself because I was sure he didn't know that. I nearly fell over. As it turns out, he's working on that book in school right now!
