All ages are welcome to join beloved children’s author and poet Jordan Scott in the Readings Gallery as he shares his latest book, Angela’s Glacier!
Village Books and the North Cascades Institute have teamed up once again, to bring you another great event in the Nature of Writing Series!
As soon as she’s born, Angela’s father introduces her to her glacier. Over time, Angela gets big enough to walk beside him, and then, to go alone. She tells her glacier everything, and it answers. But then, life gets busy. Angela’s days fill up with school, homework, violin and soccer and friends. Until one day, Angela’s heart doesn’t sound right anymore. Luckily, Angela’s dad is there to remind her what she needs: a visit to her ancient icy friend. From the Schneider Family and Boston Globe-Horn Book Award-winning author of I Talk Like a River, Angela’s Glacier is a moving story about growing up without losing yourself, loving nature, and allowing it to love you in return.
Jordan Scott is a poet whose work includes Silt, Blert, Decomp, and Night & Ox. Blert, which explores the poetics of stuttering, is the subject of two National Film Board of Canada projects, Flub and Utter: a poetic memoir of the mouth and Stutter. He is the author of the widely lauded picture book I Talk Like a River, which won the Schneider Family Book Award and the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award and has been translated into numerous languages, and My Baba’s Garden, both illustrated by Sydney Smith. He lives in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island with his wife and two sons.
