A Caldecott medalist and a Newbery Honor-winning poet celebrate the
beauty and value of spirals.What makes the tiny snail shell so
beautiful? Why does that shape occur in nature over and over again--in
rushing rivers, in a flower bud, even inside your ear?
With simplicity and grace, Joyce Sidman's poetry paired with Beth
Krommes's scratchboard illustrations not only reveal the many spirals in
nature--from fiddleheads to elephant tusks, from crashing waves to
spiraling galaxies--but also celebrate the beauty and usefulness of this
fascinating shape.
