She tells her glacier everything, and it answers.But then, life gets busy. Angelas days fill up with school, homework, violin and soccer and friends. Until one day, Angelas heart doesnt sound right anymore. Luckily, Angelas 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, Angelas Glacier is a moving story about growing up without losing yourself, loving nature, and allowing it to love you in return. Diana Sudykas breathtaking artwork pulls the reader into a world of warm hugs from shining blue-green ice- and from Dad, too.An afterword from the real Angela highlights the tragic threat climate change poses to our planet's frozen marvels.
