#PictureBookMonth Day 30: "Snowflake Bentley" writ #PictureBookMonth Day 30: "Snowflake Bentley" written by Jacqueline Briggs Martin and illustrated by Mary Azarian. Children's book illustrator and woodcut artist Mary Azarian won the 1999 #CaldecottMedal for "Snowflake Bentley," which was illustrated by hand-colored woodcuts. In her #Caldecott acceptance speech, she said, “I began to realize what an important message this book could convey. So often children (and adults) are told that their dreams and passions are impractical...It is my fervent hope that Snowflake Bentley may inspire both children and adults to follow their own unique paths in life.” Thank you for celebrating the art of #picturebook #illustration with us this month! #picturebooks #kidlit #kidlitart #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #childrensbookillustrator #kidsbooks #picturebookart
