Written and illustrated by Heidi Woodward Sheffield
A child's love for ice cream is put to the test when they have to wait in line for a treat.
An ice-cream-loving kid faces a test of patience as he waits in line, watching others enjoy their cones. His frustration builds, but will the sweet reward be worth the wait? Experience the emotional rollercoaster of anticipation and delight in this charming tale.
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. 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. That’s when he can get his mad, no-ice-cream-yet, waiting-in-a-long-line face–until he finally gets his cone, and his mad face melts into something sweet. Heidi Woodward Sheffield gently explores a range of emotions as they relate to this delicious, everyday experience.
