Swirl by Swirl

ByÊBeth Krommes,ÊJoyce Sidman

Reinforced Library Binding Picture Book, 40 pages

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 againÑin rushing rivers, in a flower bud, even inside your ear? With simplicity and grace, Krommes and Sidman not only reveal the many spirals in natureÑfrom fiddleheads to elephant tusks, from crashing waves to spiraling galaxiesÑbut also celebrate the beauty and usefulness of this fascinating shape.
