Set against the backdrop of Vermont's rural life, the book features a unique farmer's alphabet illustrated with striking woodcut prints by Mary Azarian. Originally a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse, Azarian was commissioned to create this series in the late 1970s, capturing scenes that reflect the essence of the state's farming culture through each letter from A to Z. The artwork showcases her artistic talent and deep connection to the community, ultimately leading to her recognition as a Caldecott medalist.

A biography of a self-taught scientist who photographed thousands of individual snowflakes in order to study their unique formations. Snow in Vermont is as common as dirt. Why would anyone want to photograph it? From the time he was a small boy, Wilson Bentley thinks of ice crystals as small miracles, and he determines that one day his camera will capture for others their extraordinary beauty. Often misunderstood in his time, he took pictures that even today reveal two important truths about snowflakes: first, that no two are alike, and second, that each one is startlingly beautiful. His story gives children insight into a soul who had not only a scientist's vision and perseverance, but a clear passion for the wonders of nature.--Publisher information
