內容簡介：
From the time he was a small boy, Wilson Bentley saw snowflakes
as small miracles. And he determined that one day his camera would
capture for others the wonder of the tiny crystal. Bentley''s
enthusiasm for photographing snowflakes was often misunderstood in
his time, but his patience and determination revealed two important
truths: no two snowflakes are alike; and each one is startlingly
beautiful. His story is gracefully told and brought to life in
lovely woodcuts, giving children insight into a soul who had not
only a scientist''s vision and perseverance but a clear passion for
the wonders of nature. "Of all the forms of water the tiny
six-pointed crystals of ice called snow are incomparably the most
beautiful and varied." -- Wilson Bentley. SNOWFLAKE BENTLEY won the
1999 Caldecott Medal.
