This is a thread that is a picture book in the making. Text plus the roughest roughs of http://illustration.It 's called BIG BERG
'We knew about ice bergs. They came out of the North, and vanished to the South....'
@TinyOwl_Books @LittleToller @JackieMorrisArt @DHAchildrens

'...more and more each year. We didn't take much notice.. @TinyOwl_Books @LittleToller @unbounders

'...we carried on doing what we'd always done. Emptying the seas, filling up the land and throwing stuff away.'

'And then the Big Berg Came. It arrived while everyone was sleeping. It blocked the harbour.' @TinyOwl_Books @unbounders @LittleToller

'People grew hungry and afraid. We tried to push the berg away. Someone even tried to blow it up.But the big berg would not move ...' @TinyOwl_Books @LittleToller @unbounders

'The mayor called a meeting to decide what to do. Everyone had a different opinion.' @TinyOwl_Books @LittleToller @unbounders @JackieMorrisArt @CathyFisherArt

'But then a child spoke up. At first we didnt hear her, but she just kept on talking til we did.
"Listen to the Berg" she said "maybe it can tell us something?"' @GretaThunberg

'I wonder now how different things would be, if we had done what that child asked. We could have listened to the berg, read the stories written in its icy layers in bubbles, dust and pollen.They told the history of weather, and how we broke it...' @TinyOwl_Books @emilyshuckburgh

'We could have heard that warning. We could have changed.' @ed_hawkins @TinyOwl_Books

'But we did not. And one day, the Big Berg and the child, were gone.' @ed_hawkins @ProfMarkMaslin @TinyOwl_Books
