Ezra Jack Keats

    Ezra Jack Keats was een literaire pionier die zwarte kinderen centraal stelde in Amerikaanse prentenboeken, lang voordat multiculturele thema's in de mode kwamen. In zijn werken, die hij zowel schreef als illustreerde, gebruikte hij unieke artistieke technieken, met name de combinatie van gouache en collage. Zijn personages, ontleend aan zijn omgeving, weerspiegelen vaak het dagelijkse gezinsleven en vangen zowel de eenvoudige geneugten als de complexe uitdagingen die kinderen tegenkomen. Door te putten uit zijn eigen jeugdervaringen, creëerde Keats herkenbare personages wiens verhalen wereldwijd resoneren bij kinderen, wat zorgt voor de blijvende aantrekkingskracht van zijn boeken.

      Peter würde so gern pfeifen können! Dann würde sein Hund Willi bestimmt bei jedem Pfiff zu ihm gelaufen kommen. Den ganzen Tag übt Peter, aber es will einfach kein Ton aus seinem Mund herauskommen. Auf einmal, als er schon gar nicht mehr daran glaubt, kommt Willi angerannt, weil er Peters Pfiff gehört hat. Eine starke Geschichte über das Lernen, das manchmal leichter wird, wenn man es nicht zu sehr versucht. Kinder werden hier ermutigt, Dinge neugierig auszuprobieren, an sich selbst zu glauben und sich von Fehlschlägen nicht unterkriegen zu lassen.
