In a treehouse by the sea, a grandfather shares the story of how he kept his dreams alive with thoughts of his future grandchild--who is his most precious dream of all.
Hope takes flight in this tender picture book by author Karina Iceberg (Aleut-Alutiiq), and illustrator Steph Littlebird (Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde), who share a story of Native resilience with a conversation between a grandparent and grandchild that soars into a message of love that spans generations--both those past and to come.
Karina Iceberg holds an MFA in writing for children and young adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Her debut picture book, A Good Hide, publishes with Heartdrum in January 2026. Her work has appeared in two anthologies: Legendary Frybread Drive-In, edited by Cynthia Leitich Smith, and Onward: Climate Fiction to Inspire Hope, edited by Nora Shalaway Carpenter. Karina is a member of the Aleut (Unangax^) and Alutiiq (Sugpiaq) Nations of Alaska.
