The Story of Snow: The Science of Winter's Wonder by Mark Cassino with Jon Nelson, PhD, illustrations by Nora Aoyagi, Chronicle Books, 2009, ISBN 978-0-8118-6866-2
"A snow crystal is a letter from the sky"--Ukichiro Nakaya, Japanese scientist (1900-1962). Casssino ends this book with that quote about snow crystals (many of which together make a snowflake). He spends the entire book telling the reader how a snowflake is made, technically and scientifically. Extraordinary photographs capture these unique gems, and his explanation is simple yet complete. He even tells you how to catch your own snow crystals.
Here's an article in the Kalamazoo News about the author and his book.
