Why Are Some Snowflakes Different?

When you read the story-poem focus on the section that talks about snowflakes. Notice that some snowflakes are soft and large, and others arrive “icy and sharp.” Why is this?
The narrator in the story likes to catch snowflakes on their tongue and comments that they all “taste like clouds.” Why do you think that is? (Because they all came from the same place even though each one is unique).
Point out that differences do not make one better than the other – they are just different. The child in the story accepts those differences by noticing that they are all “perfect and beautiful and special” and noticing what they have in common – they all come from the clouds. People are a lot like snowflakes – they come in all shapes and sizes and no two are the same.
