A Caldecott Honor Book
""It's snowing, said boy with dog."
""It's only a snowflake," said grandfather with beard."
No one thinks one or two snowflakes will amount to anything. Not
the man with the hat or the lady with the umbrella. Not even the
television or the radio forecasters. But one boy and his dog have
faith that the snow will amount to something spectacular, and when
flakes start to swirl down on the city, they are also the only ones
who know how to truly enjoy it. This playful depiction of a snowy
day and the transformation of a city is perfectly captured in
simple, poetic text and lively watercolor and pen-and-ink
illustrations.
As snowflakes slowly come down, one by one, people in the city ignore them, and only a boy and his dog think that the snowfall will amount to anything.
From a beloved voice in children's literature comes this landmark
memoir of hope amid harrowing times and an engaging and unusual
Holocaust-related story. With backlist sales of over 2.3 million
copies, one of FSG BYR's most acclaimed picture-book creators
details the eight-year odyssey of how he and his Jewish family
escaped the terrors of the Nazis by fleeing Warsaw for the Soviet
Union. It was during those years, with threats at every turn, that
the young Uri experienced his awakening as an artist, an experience
that played a key role during this difficult time. By turns dream
like and nightmarish, this heavily illustrated account of
determination, courage, family loyalty, and the luck of coincidence
is a true publishing event.

Three times a voice comes to Isaac in his dreams and tells him to
go to the capital city and look for a treasure under the bridge by
the royal palace. Feeling a little foolish perhaps, but determined
to see for himself if the dream is true, Isaac sets out on his long
journey. What he finds makes a surprising and heart-warming ending
to this retelling of a well-known folk tale. In a few words,
Cadelcott Medal winner Uri Shulevitz draws a man who is innocent
enough to have faith in a dream, and wise enough to understand the
greatest reward of all.
Isaac's solitary journey, his arrival at hte vast city, and his
discovery there are all enriched by Mr. Shulevitz's beautifully
detailed illustrations, which masterfully capture the spirit of the
original tale while keeping it simple enough for the very youngest
reader.
When he puts on his sailor suit, hat, and whistle, the boy in this
book is ready for a journey. He imagines himself on a ship, sailing
across the sea, in search of treasure. A sailors life is dangerous,
but a sailor must be brave no matter what happens. In this charming
story about imagination and adventure, told with Uri Shulevitzs
signature playfulness and style, a little boy learns how to be
courageous, both on the high seas and at home. The tale is based on
a childhood memory from the time when the author/illustrator and
his family lived in Warsaw on the eve of World War II.
