Bookroo's summary
Embark on a winter journey with a family as they explore twelve unique types of ice, from fragile beginnings to perfect skating surfaces. Each icy transformation unveils a new adventure, inviting readers to glide over fields and streams, through orchards, and beyond. Discover the beauty and nostalgia of winter's embrace in a series of captivating vignettes, where each layer of ice tells its own story. What secrets does the last ice hold?
From the publisher
With the first ice–a skim on a sheep pail so thin, it breaks when touched–one family’s winter begins in earnest. Next comes ice like panes of glass. And eventually, skating ice! Take a literary skate over field ice and streams, through sleeping orchards and beyond. The first ice, the second ice, the third ice . . . perfect ice . . . the last ice . . . Twelve kinds of ice are carved into twenty nostalgic vignettes, illustrated in elegantly scratched detail by the award-winning Barbara McClintock.
