An E-mail from Sandy Snow
By Kathleen W. Redman
  

1     Hello! It was great to hear from you. I'm glad to know you're interested in me. You know, many people think I've got a pretty easy life. They think that just because I'm pretty, I don't have much to do. By the end of my email, I think you'll feel differently.
 
2     Of course, my name is Sandy, and I'm a snowflake. If you've ever seen me or any of my friends, you probably liked us. Most children do. That's because of all the weather, we're some of the prettiest. We're white, soft, and light. And when we fall, we bring lots of fun to children.
 
3     My life as a snowflake starts way up high in the clouds where it is usually pretty cold. Clouds are made up of moisture. Moisture collects and freezes and starts to fall out of the sky. That's where I become a snowflake. As the moisture collects and freezes, I can grow into some beautiful shapes and sizes.
