The new book of Niagara: Scenes in summer and winter

The book invites listeners into a vivid portrait of Niagara, where the roar of the falls meets the quiet hush of winter ice. Rich, full‑color illustrations capture both the blazing summer sunlight that crowns the cataracts and the crystalline frost that freezes the spray into towering arches. Guided by a gentle narrator, you’ll wander from the bustling viewpoint of Prospect Point to the serene moonlit banks, feeling the contrast of heat and chill. Each page offers a snapshot of nature’s grandeur, making the iconic landscape come alive through sound and description.

Highlights include a thrilling ride on the Maid of the Mist, the dazzling rainbow that arches over the water, and the quiet awe of standing at the brink of the American Fall. Winter scenes reveal the spectacular ice bridge and the glittering ice mountain that reshapes the gorge each year. As the narration unfolds, listeners can picture themselves tracing the river’s course, hearing the thunderous plunge and the soft crackle of frozen mist, all without ever leaving their seat.
