Bentley. Boston: Houghton, 1998.
All his life, Wilson Bentley loved the outdoors, and he especially loved the snow. As a boy, he studied the snowflakes under a microscope. They were so beautiful! He tried to draw them, but they always melted. When he was a teenager, his parents bought him an expensive camera so that he could take pictures of the tiny designs. The neighbors laughed. But Wilson Bentley ignored them. Find out what happens to a boy who followed his dream. (MK) |
