Snowflake Bentley won the 1999 Caldecott Medal..
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.
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.
And he determined that one day his camera would capture for others the wonder of the tiny crystal. -- Wilson Bentley (1865-1931) From the time he was a small boy in Vermont, Wilson Bentley saw snowflakes as small miracles.
