From the time he was a boy, Wilson Bentley was captivated by snow. Where others saw cold and inconvenience, he saw miracles: each snowflake a tiny, one-of-a-kind work of art. With his parents' encouragement, and a camera and microscope of his own, he photographed snowflakes for the first time and spent decades revealing their hidden beauty to the world.
This Caldecott Medal–winning true story pairs a lyrical text with sidebars of fascinating biographical detail, a lovely book for snow days and curious young minds, and a gentle lesson in perseverance and wonder.
