Uri Shulevitz

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. Caldecott honor book: 1999.

Troto's a happy little car who likes to go places until he drives all the way to Cactusville and meets some big trucks that tease him for being so small.

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 dreamlike and nightmarish, this account of determination, courage, family loyalty, and the luck of coincidence is a true publishing event.
