All blizzards are snowstorms, but not all snowstorms are blizzards! What is the difference? How much snow falls during a blizzard? How fast are the winds? How cold does it get during a blizzard? Read and find out! Written by acclaimed children’s science writer Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld and with beautiful illustrations by Maddie Frost, What Makes a Blizzard comes chock-full of visual aids like charts, sidebars, and hands-on activities€”including how to keep a winter weather journal and how to observe what a snowflake really looks like. This is a Level 2 Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science title, which means the book explores more challenging concepts for children in the primary grades and supports the Common Core Learning Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) standards. Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out is the winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books & Films Prize for Outstanding Science Series.

About Author

Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld is the award-winning author of more than ninety books for children. She has written several books in the Let's Read And Find Out Science series, including: WHAT LIVES IN A SHELL?, an NSTA/CBC €œOutstanding Science Trade Book€ and winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science's €œBest Children's Book€ award; WHAT IS THE WORLD MADE OF?, a Children's Book of the Month Club Main Selection; WHAT'S ALIVE?, also named an AAAS €œBest Children's Book€; HOW MOUNTAINS ARE MADE, an NSTA/CBC €œOutstanding Science Trade Book,€ DINOSAUR TRACKS, "a great choice for even the most discriminating dinophiles" (School Library Journal); and DINOSAURS BIG AND SMALL, winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio €œBest Book Award€ Kathleen was a children's book editor for over ten years before becoming a full-time writer. When she is not reading, researching, writing, or editing she loves to spend her free time exploring, doing fieldwork, and preparing and curating fossils for her local natural history museums. She lives in Berkeley, CA. Hey guys! It's me, Maddie. I just wanted to share a little about myself in case you're like, €œwho's this Maddie person?€ I've been drawing and making art since I was very little. I practiced and practiced and never let anything hold me back from achieving my dreams of being a published artist. Amazing things happen when you believe in yourself. I was an elementary art teacher and used to teach drawing to kids. I'm now the author-illustrator of picture books like; Animobiles, Wakey Birds, Smug Seagull, Just be Jelly, Capybara is Friends with Everyone, and illustrator of Shine Like a Unicorn, and more. I continue to draw every day in my home in Massachusetts, where I live with my husband and super cute doggies. If you want to know more about me and my books or just see pictures of my dogs, check out my website at Maddie-Frost.com.
