ICE CREAM FACE

​

 

 

The Ezra Jack Keats Award–winning creator of Brick by Brick brings to delicious life the anxiety and elation involved in waiting in line to get ice cream. A Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Book

As far as this ice-cream-loving kid is concerned, every meal should include ice cream. In any form, in every flavor, he loves it all. But what he doesn’t love is seeing other people with ice cream .  .  .  while he’s still waiting in line for his.

 

Heidi Woodward Sheffield gently explores a range of emotions as they relate to this delicious, everyday experience.
