Whistle for Willie - Board Book

A classic that still feels like modern day childhood. Whistle for Willie follows Peter through warm sidewalks and long afternoons as he tries (and tries) to whistle for his dog. The story is simple, the art is luminous, and it captures that small, proud moment when practice finally pays off — pure kid joy, perfectly bound.

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.
