Ezra Jack Keats

    Ezra Jack Keats war ein literarischer Pionier, der schwarzen Kindern in amerikanischen Bilderbüchern eine zentrale Rolle gab, lange bevor multikulturelle Themen populär wurden. In seinen Werken, die er sowohl schrieb als auch illustrierte, setzte er einzigartige künstlerische Techniken ein, insbesondere die Mischung aus Gouache und Collage. Seine Charaktere, inspiriert von seiner umgebenden Gemeinschaft, spiegeln oft das alltägliche Familienleben wider und erfassen sowohl die einfachen Freuden als auch die komplexen Probleme, denen Kinder begegnen. Indem er auf seine eigenen Kindheitserfahrungen zurückgriff, schuf Keats nachvollziehbare Charaktere, deren Geschichten bei Kindern weltweit Anklang finden und so die anhaltende Beliebtheit seiner Bücher sichern.

      Peter würde so gern pfeifen können! Dann würde sein Hund Willi bestimmt bei jedem Pfiff zu ihm gelaufen kommen. Den ganzen Tag übt Peter, aber es will einfach kein Ton aus seinem Mund herauskommen. Auf einmal, als er schon gar nicht mehr daran glaubt, kommt Willi angerannt, weil er Peters Pfiff gehört hat. Eine starke Geschichte über das Lernen, das manchmal leichter wird, wenn man es nicht zu sehr versucht. Kinder werden hier ermutigt, Dinge neugierig auszuprobieren, an sich selbst zu glauben und sich von Fehlschlägen nicht unterkriegen zu lassen.

      This is the simple story of Peter, who longs to whistle for his dog, Willie, and persists until he does. When Whistle for Willie was first published in 1964, 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 is the simple tale of a boy waking up to discover that snow has fallen during the night. Keats's illustrations, using cut-outs, watercolors, and collage, are strikingly beautiful in their understated color and composition. The tranquil story mirrors the calm presence of the paintings, and both exude the silence of a freshly snow-covered landscape. The little boy celebrates the snow-draped city with a day of humble adventures--experimenting with footprints, knocking snow from a tree, creating snow angels, and trying to save a snowball for the next day. Awakening to a winter wonderland is an ageless, ever-magical experience, and one made nearly visceral by Keats's gentle tribute. The book is notable not only for its lovely artwork and tone, but also for its importance as a trailblazer. According to Horn Book magazine, The Snowy Day was "the very first full-color picture book to feature a small black hero"--yet another reason to add this classic to your shelves. It's as unique and special as a snowflake.
