A Caldecott medalist and a Newbery Honor-winning poet celebrate the beauty and value of spirals.What makes the tiny snail shell so beautiful? Why does that shape occur in nature over and over again—in rushing rivers, in a flower bud, even inside your ear?
With simplicity and grace, Joyce Sidman's poetry paired with Beth Krommes's scratchboard illustrations not only reveal the many spirals in nature—from fiddleheads to elephant tusks, from crashing waves to spiraling galaxies—but also celebrate the beauty and usefulness of this fascinating shape.

蜗牛的壳，圆蛛结的网，向日葵的花盘，潮汐的漩涡，甚至是人的耳蜗……仔细观察就会发现，自然界中有许许多多的东西都是呈螺旋形存在的。螺旋这种形状为什么如此常见？它有什么作用？作者用精炼优美的诗文，极富韵味的刮版画，将螺旋世界的美丽与奇妙展现在我们眼前，带我们感受蕴涵于大自然中的无限美感与力量。
