About the author

Ezra Jack Keats (1916-1983) was an American author and illustrator of children's books. Keats was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on March 11, 1916. He illustrated jackets for adult and juvenile books and provided drawings for almost a dozen children's books. He is the author of The Snowy Day (1962), a recipient of the Caldecott Medal and one of the first picture books in which the central character is a minority child. He was one of the first children’s book authors to use an urban setting for his stories and he developed the use of collage as a medium for illustration.
