Written by Ellen Bryan Obed & illustrated by Barbara McClintock

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 streambed, 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. 64 pages

"Winter on a Maine farm offers the joys of ice in all its forms... Irresistible." -Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review (Ages 6-9)

"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. Children who don't live in a cold climate will wish they did, and everyone will find this a small gem." -Booklist, Starred Review (Grades 4-7)
