About this ebook
Explore the science of snow in this informative picture book with a lyrical read-aloud from award-winning author and poet Laura Purdie Salas.
Stars and columns fill the sky
with dreams to flurry, float, and fly.
When the first flakes of snow swirl toward the ground, it almost feels like magic. But in fact, it's science: a delicate process where cold air and moisture high in the sky work together to create tiny crystals that grow into sparkling snowflakes.
Laura Purdie Salas's accessible, poetic text and Chiara Fedele's breathtaking art present the science behind snow and revel in the wonder of winter weather. Follow as the weather sets the stage for a glowing, snowy morning full of flakes that flurry, float, and fly!
An author's note delves deeper into the science of snow, making the book an excellent choice for classroom lessons on weather and seasons.
There's more to explore! Also read Zap! Clap! Boom! The Story of a Thunderstorm.
