Description

“Of all of the forms of water the tiny six-pointed crystals of ice referred to as snow are incomparably the most beautiful and varied.” — Wilson Bentley (1865-1931)

From the time he was once a small boy in Vermont, Wilson Bentley saw snowflakes as small miracles. And he decided that sooner or later his camera would capture for others the wonder of the tiny crystal. Bentley’s enthusiasm for photographing snowflakes was once continuously misunderstood in his time, but his patience and determination revealed two vital truths: no two snowflakes are alike; and every one is startlingly beautiful. His story is gracefully told and brought to life in lovely woodcuts, giving children insight into a soul who had not only a scientist’s vision and perseverance but a clear passion for the wonders of nature. Snowflake Bentley won the 1999 Caldecott Medal.
