Snowflakes!

It's that time of the year...snowflakes are falling!

Have you heard of Snowflake Bentley?

Born in 1865, he became a scientist who photographed thousands of snowflakes. Read all about him in this fascinating picture-book biography by Jacqueline Briggs Martin, illustrated by Mary Azarian.
