The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats (1962)
I like to get this for the kiddos who experience winter and snow. The illustrations bring the mysterious magic of snow in a city to life. You can hear the crunching of snow underfoot. Then the gut punch of Peter not finding the snowball he saved for later in his pocket. I’m happy to read this one ten times in a row.

I grew up in coastal California where it never ever snowed, and I remember playing "snow day" with a friend after our kindergarten teacher read this to us. It works across climates! ;)

Good Thing Going by Lena Dunham
“A beautiful story about the ephemera of good things- want the red parka that the heroine has very, very badly.”
