Bookroot Readings suggested questions to help dive into this book.

1. It is common knowledge that snow comes in winter, but have you ever stopped to think about how snow flakes or snow crystals come to be? How do they begin? (1:05)

2. How long does it take for a snowflake to form? (1:57)

3. How many arms do star crystals typically have? (3:53) (7:12)

4. Snowflakes, like humans, are all different! No two snowflakes are alike. (10:52) For your next crafting session, maybe make some snowflakes of your own to see for yourself, that even if you try, no two would be exactly alike.

5. If you live in or visit an area that snows, stand outside during a snow wearing a dark jacket, or holding a dark piece of paper to observe the flakes and crystals that land. It's fascinating to see their shapes and how quick they begin to deteriorate.
