Quarky is writing this for you...
The story
Quarky floats through a snowfall to learn why every flake has six arms, and why no two are ever the same.
What you'll learn
- Snow is frozen water shaped into beautiful crystals.
- Freezing water locks into a six-sided pattern.
- Each flake takes its own path down, so no two match.
- Snow looks white because light bounces off many tiny crystals.
