Description
Wilson Bentley's fascination with snowflakes began in childhood and only grew stronger as he grew older. He saw each tiny crystal as a little miracle, and his parents supported his curiosity by giving him a camera and microscope to help him understand them.
Despite initial misunderstanding, Wilson persevered, cataloguing hundreds of photographs and sharing his findings with others through slide shows. His work eventually led to the publication of a book of his photos at the age of 66, leaving behind a lasting legacy in our understanding of snowflakes.
This beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of Wilson Bentley's remarkable journey, making it a perfect gift for the holiday season or a snowy day read.
