Bookroo's summary

Journey with a glacier from mountain to sea, revealing its hidden world teeming with life. As climate change accelerates their melting, the survival of creatures like ice worms, bears, and whales hangs in the balance. Can we protect these icy giants and the life they sustain before it's too late?

From the publisher

This environmental picture book introduces young science and nature lovers to the wonders of glaciers, the wildlife that call them home, and how important they are to the health of our planet. A glacier may look forbidding and empty, but it supports abundant life. Follow a glacier as it flows from mountain to ocean, providing a home for ice worms, birds, bears, and more. Where the glacier meets the sea, it creates a rich environment for marine life such as seals, otters, and whales. As glaciers melt at a rapid rate due to climate change, their disappearance impacts not only the wildlife that calls them home, but also all life on earth. Glaciers are alive, and they need our protection!
