Book Description
Catching Snowflakes is a collection of poems and paintings that were born on stormy days in the cold frigid winters of Upstate New York. They try to capture the beauty and serenity in the many shades of winter. However occasionally, just like the snowflakes, they drift and land in unexpected places—sometimes settling on a surprising idea or a strange emotion or an unheralded perspective. This book is meant to be a cosy read and is filled with white winter’s charm. It is for people that love winter and want to relive it, out of season - for just a little while (as I often do). It is also for people who have never seen snow-covered winters and want to glimpse it from the comfort of their warm couches. So, fill your cups with hot chocolate or warm spiced tea, and let’s go catching snowflakes.

In this 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. Wilson Bentley was always fascinated by snow. In childhood and adulthood, he saw each tiny crystal of a snowflake as a little miracle and wanted to understand them. His parents supported his curiosity and saved until they could give him his own camera and microscope. At the time, his enthusiasm was misunderstood. But 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. His work became the basis for all we know about beautiful, unique snowflakes today. This biographical tribute to a very special farmer is the perfect holiday gift or snow day read.
