Publisher's Description

▼▲

Explore the wonder of childhood in this classic, nearly wordless picture book!

Young Peter embarks on a summer adventure in his neighborhood, learning how to whistle for his dog, Willie. But whistling is harder than it looks. Will persistence, patience, and imagination win the day? This heartwarming story by award-winning author and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats celebrates the joys of tiny triumphs with bright and engaging texture collages.

"Mr. Keats' illustrations boldly, colorfully capture the child, his city world, and the shimmering heat of a summer's day." –The New York Times

Author Bio

▼▲

Ezra Jack Keats (1916–1983) is the Caldecott Medal winning author of The Snowy Day, which broke ground in 1962 as one of the first picture books for young children to portray a realistic, multi-cultural urban setting. Since its initial publication, The Snowy Day has come to be regarded as both a children’s classic and one of the most important picture books ever written/illustrated. Ezra Jack Keats’ legacy lives on in the popularity of his most famous character, Peter—the star of The Snowy Day, Whistle for Willie, Peter's Chair, A Letter to Amy, Goggles, and others.
