About the Book

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.

Review :
The creators successfully balance art, information, and poetry for a result that captures the fleeting magic of snowflake-filled skies as well as their power to generate community activity. With exquisite clarity, Salas’ gentle verse speaks to the poetic beauty of a first snow while gently leading readers through the very real science. . . . Deft wordplay and lovely art blend for a tale of a most magical snowy day. This ode to snowstorms is perfect for nature lovers and budding scientists alike. Combines brief and accessible scientific detail with wonder. The fluid, rhyming text offers some basic facts about thunderstorms; the well-researched back matter presents a more detailed account . . . An informative read-aloud choice for home or classroom. Science collides with poetry in Zap! Clap! Boom!: The Story of a Thunderstorm, in which Laura Purdie Salas's pit-a-pat rhymes match the tempo of a rain shower. With eye-catching art and lines that roll off the tongue, this book would be well-suited to raucous but stealthily informative science-based story hour. Salas’s onomatopoeic verse conveys both the ferocity of a thunderstorm and the wonder it can inspire; it begs to be read aloud. The book is a perfect read-aloud . . . A lovely, vocabulary-stretching, story-hour gift for a cozy day. The buildup and arrival of a wild thunderstorm offers both eye-widening drama and lessons in atmospheric phenomena . . . A crashing success.
