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.

It begins with a warm wind late at night sighing through the hemlock trees, swaying branches and shaking loose the heavy snow that fell all day... As the sun rises slowly over the farmlands, subtle signs of spring begin to emerge. From thin streams of melted snow-water snaking down the windowpanes, to newborn lambs nestled in a mound of sun-warmed hay, to red-budded maple trees swollen with rising sap, the beauty of a world awakening from winter is revealed in stirring detail. Lyrical prose by author Steven Schnur is in perfect harmony with Stacey Schuett's warm, luminous paintings, celebrating the arrival of spring and the energy and renewal it brings.
