An Iceberg’s Journey Educates Young Readers about Water Cycle and Companionship
Children’s book introduces compelling characters and lessons
“Icy is a likeable, relatable character, and the book’s approach to teaching the water cycle feels unique for its target age demographic…‘Icy the Iceberg’ is a pleasant way to introduce very young readers to the complexities of the water cycle.”
The adventures of a snowflake-turned-iceberg come to life on the pages of Larry Friend and Sidney “Mindy” Makis’s new book, “Icy the Iceberg.”
The story starts with Icy, a sparkling snowflake drifting along the icy mountains of Vancouver, Canada. As Icy touches land, he begins his long and lonely years of being trapped underneath the snow. After hundreds of years, Icy becomes an iceberg and meets all kinds of creatures along the way.
BlueInk Review says: “Icy is a likeable, relatable character, and the book’s approach to teaching the water cycle feels unique for its target age demographic…‘Icy the Iceberg’ is a pleasant way to introduce very young readers to the complexities of the water cycle.”
Colorful illustrations accompany the text, as Mindy Makis tries to illustrate the water cycle in a simple, enjoyable manner for children. Larry Friend has an engaging narration style, and he says, “[The book] gives children hope when they are confronted with difficult and scary things in life; knowing there is little to fear when the same situation presents itself in the future.”
“Icy the Iceberg” is available in selected bookstores.
