In The Little Drummer Boy (an illustrated version of the classic holiday carol), a procession travels to Bethlehem, carrying with them their finest gifts to give to the Baby Jesus. The little drummer boy comes along, but he is too poor to bring a present fit for a king. Instead, he plays a song on his drum for the Christ Child.
Ezra Jack Keats (www.ezra-jack-keats.org), who died in 1983, was one of the first people to create a realistic, friendly, multi-ethnic urban setting in picture books for young children. His 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.
