ABOUT SHH… BABY JESUS IS SLEEPING

The author of the bestselling God Gave Us series invites children to snuggle in close and peek into the stable where the animals are celebrating the very first Christmas.

“All be quiet…settle down. Shh, shh, shh. Baby Jesus is sleeping.” So begins this sweet bedtime story in which all the animals in the nativity scene call their little ones to snuggle in close and rest quietly as they honor the arrival of a precious Baby–the Savior of all living things–that first Christmas night.

Not a peep, Little Sheep. Baby Jesus is sleeping!
Lie down now, Little Cow. Baby Jesus is sleeping!…
We rest tonight, knowing he is near.
Our promised King is finally here!

Capturing Snowflakes: Winter’s Frozen Artistry  By Kenneth Libbrecht & Rachel Wing

As much a work of Art as a testament to Science, this revised, hardcover edition of the best-selling The Art of the Snowflake  (now Capturing Snowflakes) includes a laser-cut silver Snowflake Ornament in its cover and showcases 430+ images of Snowflakes captured by the photo-microscope of the world’s leading expert on the subject, Kenneth Libbrecht, a professor of physics at Caltech who also served as a science consultant for Disney’s Frozen movies.

The Snow may seem unvaried to the naked eye, but the Microscope reveals an amazing menagerie of beautiful Crystalline forms. Building on the pioneering work of Wilson Bentley (1865-1931), Libbrecht has developed techniques for capturing images of Snow Crystals in unprecedented detail. While wondering at the hundreds of exquisite Snowflake portraits, find:

  • The Science behind Snowflakes, including how they form on a Molecular level and the complex process that guarantees each one’s uniqueness
  • Field notes from Libbrecht’s Photographic expeditions to the frozen North
  • The taxonomy of Snowflakes and examples of each type: simple plates and prisms, columns and needles, capped columns, sectored plates, stellar plates, stellar dendrites, triangular crystals, double plates, split plates, split stars, and even rare twelve-branched Snowflakes
  • Quotations about the wonder of Snowflakes and nature from Aristotle, Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and more

This book is a breathtaking look at the works of Art that melt in an instant.
