SPRING VALLEY — The Ice Crystal Palace, a new book by Spring Valley resident Willy Paul, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

The Ice Crystal Palace is a story about the most beautiful kingdom in the whole wide world.

The book and all of the walls surrounding the kingdom were built out of sculpted ice. Some of the blocks were as big as a small house and some were as small as a grain of sand. But they all had a specific purpose – to reflect the sun’s rays all around the kingdom. The citizens living there knew they only had a few hours of precious sunlight each day, so they wanted to make the very most of it.

Willy Paul lives in Spring Valley with his wife, Annette. Together they share six children: Sarah, Laura, Julie, Ben, Sean, and Tedi. They live on a small farm with 16 acres, which includes cows, hogs, chickens, and honeybees. Willy’s hobbies include horticulture, landscaping and trees. Willy is a restaurant owner who has a BS in finance and banking, which he earned from Wright State University.

The 04-page hardcover 104 page-book was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Penn. For more information go to www.dorrancebookstore.com.
