Snowflake Bentley: A Caldecott Award Winner - Paperback
by Jacqueline Briggs Martin (Author), Mary Azarian (Illustrator)
This gorgeously illustrated Caldecott Medal-winning picture book celebrates the true story of Wilson Bentley, the man who first revealed the hidden beauty of snowflakes. Perfect for the holidays, snow days, and year-round reading.
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 the encouragement of his parents, Wilson pursued his passion, eventually receiving a camera and microscope that allowed him to photograph snowflakes for the first time.
Though his fascination was often misunderstood, Wilson persevered. Over decades, he carefully documented hundreds of snowflakes, shared his discoveries through lectures and photographs, and at age sixty-six, published a groundbreaking book that forever changed how we understand these delicate crystals.
- Sidebars with fascinating biographical information: in addition to a lyrical story, the book includes biographical information to engage curious young readers
- Emphasis on curiosity, perseverance, and discovery: Bentley's story offers chances for children to see how curiosity and interest can lead to wonderful discoveries
- Fun facts for winter classrooms and cozy family reading: including three of Bentley's actual snowflake slides
