The Snowy Day
Original Illustrations


The original illustrations are finished works of art, ready to be reproduced into the printed book. Ezra Jack Keats like to use bold colors, simple shapes, and varied textures in his illustrations. He often combined patterned papers and cloths with paints to make striking illustrations.
