Follow the iceberg through the seasons, first in the spring as it watches penguins trek across the ice to their winter homes and senses krill stirring underneath the ice. With summer comes more life: the iceberg sees humpback whales spiral and orca gather. And the iceberg moves too, ever shrinking as the sun softens its edges and undersea currents wash it from below. When autumn arrives with cooling temperatures, the sea changes and the iceberg is trapped in the ice for the winter freeze. Then spring returns and the iceberg drifts into a sheltered bay and falls, at the end of its life cycle. But if you think this is the end of the journey, look closer -- out in the ocean, an iceberg shears from a glacier and settles to the sea, beginning the process anew. Ocean, sky, snow and ice dance a delicate dance in this evocative portrayal of the life cycle of an iceberg. The poetic text and beautiful illustrations make this a unique nonfiction offering for young readers. This book ends with an author's note explaining the effects of climate change on the Arctic and Antarctic regions, as well as a map and a glossary."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 551.34209 Sa Checked out 05/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 551.34209 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 551.34209 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 551.34209 Saxby Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 551.34209 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 551.34209 Saxby Checked out 05/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library J -- Juvenile New Books 551.34209 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 551.34209 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 551.34209 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 541.34209 Sa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
