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.

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.

Praise for Ice Cream Face

PRAISE FOR BRICK BY BRICK:

* “Illustrations done in warm tones use photographs, digital painting, and collage to show the close relationship between father and son as they work and play together to build happiness. Adults and children alike will appreciate the exquisite details and clever mirroring in the story, and celebrate the characters' joyful work ethic and fulfilment of their dreams.”—Booklist STAR
 
“[Sheffield] excels with boisterously textured, mixed-media illustrations, many incorporating photographs, digital painting, and collage, capturing vibrant colors. . . . The written text will engage the youngest readers. . . . Lovely and heartfelt.”—Kirkus

“The writing is sprinkled with plenty of onomatopoeia and sensory words. . . . Sheffield underscores the way children model themselves on the important adults in their lives in this loving, familial portrait of a strong father whose labor is honored.”—PW

"Richly illustrated with paint and collage, incorporating snippets of brick photographs that feature in both the cityscapes and Luis’s cozy new abode. Parallel scenes of Luis’ school day and Papi’s work day subtly mark the passage of time."--BCCB
