Iceberg cover

A lyrical exploration of an iceberg's life cycle through seasons, Iceberg captivates with stunning illustrations and poetic storytelling.

In Iceberg, readers are invited to witness the life journey of an iceberg born in the spring, traversing through the seasons until it meets its end in a new spring. This beautifully illustrated tale, crafted by the award-winning duo Claire Saxby and Jess Racklyeft, captures the essence of nature's cycles in a lyrical and evocative manner. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of an Antarctic winter, where the sky is filled with stars, and the icy landscape is alive with the movements of penguins and migratory birds.

As the seasons change, the story reveals the vibrant life beneath the iceberg, showcasing a world teeming with marine creatures. The delicate interplay between ocean, sky, and ice is portrayed with stunning visuals and poetic language, creating an immersive experience for readers of all ages. The authors skillfully balance factual information with artistic expression, making Iceberg not just a story but an educational journey through the natural world.

Celebrated as a 2022 CBCA Picture Book of the Year, Iceberg is a testament to the beauty and fragility of nature. It invites readers to look closer at the seemingly empty landscapes and discover the hidden wonders of life that thrive in the cold. This book is a rich tapestry of knowledge and artistry that resonates deeply with its audience.

'This stunning picture book follows in sensory, singing prose and evocative mixed-media pictures the life of an iceberg through a year of Antarctic seasons ... Solid information is rendered magical against icy shades of sea and sky.' The Courier Mail
