ice—a
skim
on
a

pail
so
thin,
it
breaks
when
touched—one

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.

“[A] perfect snowflake of a book. . . this is a book about a young woman’s deep connection to nature and her family, but also the thrilling reward of pitching in together to create something magical”
—New York Times Book Review
“Snug and elegant, evocative and fun, Ellen Bryan Obed's memoir from her childhood winters in Maine skates along in an aesthetic pas de deux, as you might say, with Barbara McClintock's graceful black-and-white drawings.”
—The Wall Street Journal
"Evocative and at the same time marvelously real, this is as much about expectation and the warmth to be found in family and friends as it is about cold ice . . . Everyone will find this a small gem."
—Booklist,starred review
"Irresistible."
—Kirkus,starred review
"This is a celebration of play, of winter, and of imagination . . . in an icy collection whose overarching quality is warmth."
—Horn Book
"Like a souvenir from a bygone era . . . Today's readers will marvel at the old-fashioned amusements, chronicled with folksy charm."
—Publishers Weekly,starred review
"Delicate pen-and-ink illustrations enhance the action, emotions, and humor of each short description of ice and frost goings-on. . . . [A] brief but unforgettable volume."
—School Library Journal,starred review
"The rituals and humor connected with a timeless childhood experience unspool seemingly without effort from author and artist in this intimate volume."
—Shelf Awareness,starred review
“This is a joyful, spirited gem of a book, as bracing and glorious as a perfect stretch of ice.” —Joyce Sidman, Newbery Honor author
