A parent might reach for this book when their child begins asking big questions about why the earth looks the way it does or after seeing a documentary about the frozen corners of our world. It is the perfect choice for a child who feels small in a large world and finds comfort in understanding the slow, steady forces of nature. This book transforms a cold, scientific topic into a story of movement and change, making the vastness of geological time feel accessible and awe-inspiring. David L. Harrison uses a poetic approach to explain how glaciers form from tiny snowflakes and eventually grow into massive, land-shaping giants. The digital collage illustrations provide a tactile, layered feel that keeps young readers engaged with the visual data. It is a gentle but factual introduction to climate cycles and the power of ice, ideal for children aged 6 to 9 who are moving from simple picture books into more complex informational texts. It fosters a deep sense of gratitude for the natural world and a curiosity about the history hidden beneath our feet.
