But not long after acquiring that book in 2018, my editor, Susan Dobinick (then with Bloomsbury), asked if I\u2019d be interested in writing a companion picture book about snow. I\u2019ve been in love with snow since I was a sweaty tot growing up in scorching Florida, so\u2026YES. I was thrilled to write this picture book! Bloomsbury bought the manuscript in speedy fashion\u2014that was in early 2019.

The amazing illustrator, Chiara Fedele, really brought the balance to the two stories (I even made a little video about that: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/l9W5yj1gM5k?si=g-3QHO1MRoxAL-ws\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/l9W5yj1gM5k?si=g-3QHO1MRoxAL-ws<\/a> ). But even in the science part (my favorite part!), I tried to choose words that captured my emotions about the formation of and experience of a snowstorm. I wanted readers to feel the fierce winds of the jet stream and the fragility of those forming ice crystals. The science of it is dramatic!

Can you share anything about how writers can access that magic, especially when it comes to nonfiction?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aw, thank you! For me, that magic comes when I clearly identify how I connect to and feel about a topic AND how I want a reader to feel at the end of my book. I usually know that going into a project. Then I write a bunch of drafts, probably not thinking about that at all. But once I have the structure and form of the project figured out, I circle back to that emotion. I try out different voices. Once I know the voice of the story, then the fun begins with word choice. I revise over and over again, showing the facts with different words and different rhythms. I\u2019m basically trying to trap that emotion I\u2019m after within my words. That\u2019s the heart of the book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please share your favorite nonfiction books from the last 5 years that inspired you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Five? You\u2019ve got to be kidding.
