CASTLES IN THE SEA: ALL ABOUT ICEBERGS
By Lawrence Jackson
Illustrations by

Awards:
2001 Canadian Children's Book Centre Our
Choice Citation
Every spring, travellers come to Newfoundland from around the world to see the
icebergs drifting southward. As big as a city block covered in office towers, or
as small as a grand piano, these mountains of freshwater ice began thousands of
years ago when snow fell on Greenland. Science writer Lawrence Jackson unravels
the mysteries of icebergs for children in this clearly-written picture book,
illustrated with remarkable water-colours, photographs and paintings on silk by
Newfoundland artist Diana Dabinett. This informative keepsake is both
educational and beautiful.
