Description

A biography of a self-taught scientist who photographed thousands of individual snowflakes in order to study their unique formations. Snow in Vermont is as common as dirt. Why would anyone want to photograph it? From the time he was a small boy, Wilson Bentley thinks of ice crystals as small miracles, and he determines that one day his camera will capture for others their extraordinary beauty. He took pictures to reveal two important truths: no two snowflakes are alike and each one is startling beautiful. This story gives readers a clear passion for the wonders of nature.
