When the Sun Shines on Antarctica: And Other Poems about the Frozen Continent

Poems portray an Antarctic summer as daylight returns and icebergs brighten. The changing season brings melting ice and growing grass, while seals quarrel, whales vocalize, and young penguins move across the ice. Each poem is paired with additional factual information about the animals and their frozen environment. Lively illustrations and scientific notes introduce creatures that live and breed at the bottom of the world.
