The glacier star of this story is a frozen, tall character depicted in an anthropomorphic cartoon form.
When the glacier packs his bags and leaves determined to explore new places and enjoy the world.
One place he wants to visit is the beach, and to get there he will go through different kinds of environments.
As he travels, he becomes impatient with how glacially slow the pace is. The glacier tries various methods to go faster, including a pair of skis, express post, and train.
Unfortunately, the further away from the cold mountains the impatient glacier gets, and the more time spent in the sun, the riskier it becomes. The impatient glacier begins to melt!The closer the he gets to the beach, the smaller the glacier gets.
There’s plenty of humour in this story written by comedian Shaun Micallef and illustrated by Rebel Challenger. Although very much a children’s story, there’s also an underlying message about life and the environment.
The Impatient Glacier is a reminder that the journey is as important as the destination, and to enjoy all moments we have along the journey of life.
