The beautiful art and imagery in this book helps to tell the amazing story of Snowflake Bentley. This is an inspiring story for young readers.
so-soWilson Bentley was fascinated by snow.He wanted to learn more and more about snow and why it looked the way it did. His parents supported his curiosity gifted him his own camera and microscope. Through much patience and determination, Wilson dove into photography.
I am not sure If my students would find this book relevant. I would use it in my classroom after the first snowfall. Students many enjoy this story if they are interested in art, photography, the outdoors, etc.
so-soBiography, 1998. Caldecott Medal–winning picture book, the true story of Wilson Bentley and his singular fascination with snowflakes is rendered in rich prose and gorgeous artwork, perfect for the holidays, snow days, and everyday. With patience and determination, Wilson catalogued hundreds of snowflake photographs, gave slideshows of his findings and, when he was 66, published a book of his photos.
