19세기 후반, 미국 동북부의 눈이 많은 고장인 버몬트에 사는 Wilson Bentley는 어려서부터 눈을 사랑했어요. 그냥 좋아만 한 것이 아니라 눈을 깊이 있게 연구하고 조사했죠. 특히 그는 눈의 모양을 그리는데 열중했어요. 하지만 눈을 그리려고 하면 곧 녹아버리곤 하기 때문에 벤트리는 부모님을 졸라서 그 당시에는 소 10마리 값에 해당하는 매우 비싼 카메라를 구입했습니다. 수많은 시행착오와 실패를 거듭한 끝에 결국 벤트리는 이 세상에서 가장 아름다운 눈의 결정 모양을 촬영할 수 있었습니다.
벤트리가 발견해낸 두가지-- 첫째는 모든 눈의 모양은 하나도 동일한 것이 없이 모두 다른 모양을 하고 있답니다. 둘째, 눈은 그냥 동글동글한 것이 아니라 이 세상에서 가장 아름다운 대칭적인 기하학적 무늬를 지니고 있답니다.
그냥 넘기기 쉬운 눈이라는 흔하디 흔한 사물을 평생을 걸쳐 연구한 결과, 시골에서 교육도 제대로 받지 못한 벤트리는 눈의 세계적인 권위자가 되어 많은 대학연구와 저서 및 논문에서 널리 인용되고 있습니다.
Caldecott Medal을 수상한 목판화풍의 그림은 매우 독특하면서도 아름답습니다.

Book Description
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.

From Scientific American
The inspiring 1999 Caldecott Medal-winning biography of a Vermont farm boy who grew up to become a world-famous expert on the scientific secrets and ephemeral beauty of snowflakes. With great patience (and tolerance for cold fingers) he was one of the first to successfully photograph snowflakes.
Booklist
From the time he was a little boy, Wilson Bentley loved snow. Yet snow was frustrating to him. He could pick flowers for his mother or net butterflies, but he couldn't hold on to snowflakes. First, Bentley tried drawing snow crystals, but they would melt too quickly. Then, as a teenager in the 1870s, he read about a camera with a microscope. His family were Vermont farming folk, but they scraped together the money to buy him the camera. From then on, there was no stopping Bentley, who was nicknamed Snowflake. He spent winters photographing the intricate flakes. At first no one cared ("Snow in Vermont is as common as dirt"); but Bentley found fame as a nature photographer, and even today his photo book of snowflakes is considered a primary source. Martin has chosen her subject well; Bentley's determined life will have innate inspiration for children. Just as important, all parts of the book work together beautifully. The text is crisp and engaging, using word imagery to good advantage: "[his new camera] was taller than a newborn calf and cost as much as father's herd of ten cows." Azarian's woodcuts are strong and sure, just like Bentley himself, and also, like him, show a love of nuance and detail. The book's design allows for snowflake-touched sidebars that offer more specific details about camera technique or Bentley's experiments with snow. There will be so many uses for this book--not the least of which is simply handing it to children and letting their imaginations soar like Bentley's Ilene Cooper

The New York Times Book Review
Snowflake Bentley is a tale of intense dedication to something both mundane and glorious, and thus, I suspect, will fascinate children. Betsy Groban
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review

The Riverbank Review
Jacqueline Briggs Martin tells the story of Snowflake Bentley with affection and grace. Mary Azarians woodcut illustrations are warm and expressive, and her hand-rendered snowflakes both brighten and soften each scene. . . . Readers will be inspired by this story of a man who was both scientist and artist, who let his deepest interests lead him through life, who found beauty in something others found common and in the process opened up a part of the world we otherwise might not know.
Parents' Choice?
This remarkable biography - noteworthy in its unusual subject, its moving telling and its beautiful, hand-tinted woodcut illustrations - is the life story of Wilson Bentley. He was nicknamed "Snowflake" because of his lifelong obsession with snow crystals and his dream of capturing their evanescent beauty through photography. Entirely self taught both as a photographer and naturalist, Bentley achieved his dream. With the help of his mother and father, who spent their savings to buy him a camera with its own microscope, he worked, from age 17 on, to perfect his photographic technique. Many colleges bought lantern slide copies of his remarkable photographs, and scientists eventually raised money so that Bentley could gather his best photographs in a much-admired book Snow Crystals. Young readers won't soon forget this unusual life story, nor its unstated lesson about following one's dreams. It is a memorable and valuable work. A 1999 Parents' Choice Recommendation.
Kirkus Reviews
Wilson Bentley (1865-1931) was fascinated by snow, in childhood and adulthood, and, practically speaking, is the one who "discovered" snow crystals, by photographing them in all their variation. As a youngster, he was so taken with these little six-sided ice crystals that his parents scraped together their savings to buy him a camera with a microscope. From then on, despite his neighbors' amusement, he took hundreds of portraits of snowflakes. As an adult, he gave slide shows of his work, and when he was 66, a book was published of his photos - a book that is still in use today. Martin chronicles Bentley's life and his obsession in a main, poetic text, but provides additional facts in careful, snowflake-strewn sidebars. The deep blue snow shadows and fuzzy glow of falling flakes in Azarian's skillfully carved, hand-tinted woodcuts recreate the cold winter wonderland of "Snowflake" Bentley's Vermont. This is a lyrical biographical tribute to a farmer, whose love of snow and careful camera work expanded both natural science and photography.
Horn Book
"A warm period look at a cold subject - snow - and one self-made scientist, Wilson A. Bentley, affectionately know as Snowflake. . . . The book exhibits a beautiful blend of Azarian's splendid woodcuts, a lyrical text, and factual sidebars. Bentley's dedication to his research is clearly evident, and the ridicule to which he was sometimes subjected is appropriately downplayed for a young audience. The illustrations, tinted with watercolors, depict the people, homes, meadows, and woods of turn-of-the-century Vermont countryside in accurate detail. Sources for the factual material are credited, and a final page features photographs of Bentley at work and three of his actual snowflake slides."
