A wait in line, a range of feelings

Ice Cream Face turns a familiar outing into a small study of changing emotions: an ice-cream-loving child waits while others enjoy their treats, and frustration gives way to delight when the child’s turn arrives. The board-book edition centers on an everyday experience and the expressions that accompany it, linking anticipation, impatience, and satisfaction to the simple promise of a cone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For babies and toddlers, especially ages 0–3.
  • For families sharing a picture book about waiting and everyday emotions.
  • For young children who enjoy stories centered on ice cream and food.

Book overview

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--now available in board book.

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.
