"Growing up in the shadow of a glacier thatâs always there to listen, Angela returns to visit her ancient icy friend when her heart doesnât sound right anymore, in this moving story about loving nature and allowing it to love you in return. Simultaneous eBook. Illustrations." - Random House, Inc.
Award-winning author Jordan Scottâs luminously-illustrated love story of a girl growing up in the shadow of a glacier thatâs always there to listen.
Angela listened to the glacier; the glacier listened to Angela.
As soon as sheâs born, Angelaâs father introduces her to her glacier. He carries her on his back up the icy expanse as the wind makes music of the snow and the water underneath. Over time, Angela gets big enough to walk beside him, and then, to go alone. She tells her glacier everything, and it answers.Â
But then, life gets busy. Angelaâs days fill up with school, homework, violin and soccer and friends. Until one day, Angelaâs heart doesnât sound right anymore. Luckily, Angelaâs dad is there to remind her what she needs: a visit to her ancient icy friend.
From the Schneider Family and Boston Globe-Horn Book Award-winning author of I Talk Like a River, Angelaâs Glacier is a moving story about growing up without losing yourself, loving nature, and allowing it to love you in return. Diana Sudykaâs breathtaking artwork pulls the reader into a world of warm hugs from shining blue-green iceâ and from Dad, too.
An afterword from the real Angela highlights the tragic threat climate change poses to our planet's frozen marvels.
