My Brother Loved Snowflakes: The Story of Wilson A. Bentley, the Snowflake Man

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Jacobsen. Ostensibly narrated by the subject's brother, this fictional reminiscence affectionately describes the life of Vermont farm boy-turned-scientist Willie Bentley. Consumed by a passion for snowflakes, Willie devoted himself to photographing their ephemeral beauty, often with homemade aids. Saturated black-outlined, warm-toned pastel images deftly illustrate the accomplished text.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
