This was a great fictional introduction to the water cycle!

Honestly- very cute; I initially thought it was just about an iceberg having an adventure, and I was like "...uh, okay?" and then I was like "Oh no he's dying!!" but NO! The magic of the water cycle! I wasn't even mad that I was tricked into a somewhat educational story. Also, I love the collage/torn paper-style artwork.

I love this book! A story about growing up, changing, finding your way, but also about the water cycle, and also about climate change. Even though it’s about all those things, it’s a light and simple book, leaving lots of space for the reader. And the paper-based illustrations are gorgeous and add to the charm of this book.

Little Blue is an iceberg who unexpectedly separates from his parents and goes on a journey. As he drifts south and the water gets warmer, Blue begins to shrink... but is he disappearing? Or just changing? This is an innovative and beautiful picture book about the water cycle and the importance of protecting our planet. I love the vivid colors and creative textures in the illustrations. This is a deceptively simple story that's perfect for sharing on Earth Day or when talking about the water cycle.

Some children may be frightened when Little Blue first “disappears” but the book handles it well.

A gentle exploration of climate change and the water cycle. Perfect for a preschool storytime.

This picture book about an iceberg that gets separated from his parents and who undergoes transformations in his quest back home can work on so many levels. Impressive!
