Icy the Iceberg by Larry Friend

Children’s books are not only fun bedtime reads to kids, but they’re also effective media for learning. In Larry Friend’s Icy the Iceberg, young ones will get to enjoy a story that offers both knowledge and values.

The children’s book chronicles the journey of protagonist Icy as he transitions from being a snowflake into a full-fledged iceberg. His transformation process is not without challenges as he experiences bouts of loneliness. After being compressed under many layers of ice for hundreds of years, he is released. He then encounters and befriends various creatures, learning many life lessons along the way.

Aside from being a tale filled with moral lessons, Icy’s story introduces kids to the basic concepts of the water cycle. BlueInk Review took note of this, calling its plot “unique for its target age demographic.” An Amazon customer also commented that it “helped explain formation of snow and the concept of evaporation and condensation in very simple and fun way.”

Icy the Iceberg is both a heartwarming and educational read. Icy’s journey aims to instill hope in children, especially when confronted with hurdles. Copies can be purchased in selected online bookstores. More information on Friend and his work is available on his website www.larryfriendbooks.com.
