Why read it?
1 author picked Iceberg: A Life in Seasons as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book blew my belief that the Antarctic is a desolate place out of the water—or perhaps out of the iceberg, as I watched an iceberg “calve”—sending a piece of itself into the southern ocean at the beginning of spring.
I loved being told to “look closer.” And what did I see? Penguins, leopard seals, krill, a zillion sea birds, and humpback whales all feasting (or being feasted upon). And a show-stopping double foldout page (that I wanted to frame, it’s sooo gorgeous!) that opens up to a magnificent array of sea creatures in opalescent waters.
What an ode to…
From Jilanne's list on picture books about nature that made me say “WOW!!”.
