“Icy the Iceberg” by Larry Friend

More than just an enjoyable bedtime companion, children’s books are effective mediums for imparting important lessons in children’s. Larry Friend’s “Icy the Iceberg” aims to entertain, educate, and inspire young readers.

The titular protagonist Icy embarks on a journey of growth, transitioning from tiny snowflake to a huge iceberg. Throughout this process, he builds friendships with different kinds of creatures—one of the valuable lessons he learns along the way.

Author Friend believes studying nature provides people with a more meaningful understanding of life. This personal philosophy and love of storytelling have led him to weave together basic scientific concepts and moral values in one book. Readers have commended its extremely positive storyline and educational value, along with its illustrations.

“Icy the Iceberg” was displayed in LitFire Publishing’s booth at BookExpo America 2018, one of the country’s biggest gathering of book trade experts. It ran from May 30 to June 1, at the Javits Center in New York City.
