Glacier on the Move book trailer

Flo, a glacier, narrates her slow-motion race from the edge of an ice field, surging down steep cliffs, muscling her way around mountains, and stretching into a valley until she reaches her goal: the sea. Author Liz Rusch says, “Glaciers are one of my favorite natural features. I have hiked up to glaciers, hiked on glaciers, skied up and down glaciers, and even slid down glaciers on my bottom and belly (yes, like a penguin!) These huge masses of ice, which gleam white and glow blue, seem at first glance to be permanent features of the landscape. But every year, I can see glaciers growing and retreating. The glaciers themselves change shape with soft cornflower snow piling on top and cold, hard ice melting at the bottom. Wildflower meadows and alpine lakes fed by glacier waters are the most beautiful in the world. The inspiration for the book came during a day-long glacier boat tour on the Prince William Sound. As my daughter and I oogled at all the different kinds of glaciers, watched glaciers calve and learned about glacier processes from the park ranger on board, I started to hear a voice. It was the voice of a young glacier making funny comments about all the strange things that happen to her over time as she slowly moves and changes. I jotted lots of notes in a small notebook, which became the voice of the book. Flo was born!” Learn more at: https://www.westmarginpress.com/book-...
