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.
Ellen Bryan Obed grew up waiting for the first ice like some wait for Christmas. Now Ellen waits for ice with her husband in snowy Dover-Foxcroft, Maine.
Barbara McClintock grew up in rural New Jersey and North Dakota. Cursed with weak ankles, she has a healthy respect for snow and ice. Visit her website at www.barbaramcclintockbooks.com.
