Katy, the crawler tractor, was big and strong. She belonged to the Highway Department of the City of Geoppolis. In the summertime, she wore a bulldozer and pushed dirt to make and repair roads. In the wintertime, she wore a snow plow and kept the roads clear. Once she pulled a steamroller out of a pond, and the Highway Department was very proud and fond of Katy, because nothing had ever stopped her. but Katy was so big and strong she wished it would really snow hard. What Katy did when a big blizzard piled the drifts up to the second story windows and the Police Department couldn't guard the city, the mail couldn't go through, the telephone wires were down, the water mains broke, the Fire Department was snowed in, the doctor couldn't get to the hospital, and the airport was blocked, made the Highway Department prouder and fonder of her than ever.

Snow in Vermont is as common as dirt. Why would anyone want to photograph it? But from the time he was a small boy, Wilson Bentley thinks of the icy crystals as small miracles, and he determines that one day his camera will capture for others their extraordinary beauty. Often misunderstood in his time, Wilson Bentley 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, gracefully told by Jacqueline Briggs Martin and brought to life in Mary Azarian's lovely woodcuts, 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.
