Skating on Lake Superior’s wild ice

Two children follow the sounds of a winter lake onto its snow-covered shore, where animal tracks—including a wolf’s—mark the way to the ice. Their skating brings them into contact with the lake’s eerie song, described as the sound of ice expanding and contracting. Jean E. Pendziwol’s picture book combines an outdoor winter adventure with details of animal tracks, cold-weather exploration, and the natural sounds of Lake Superior. Todd Stewart’s illustrations accompany the children’s journey from shore to ice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in ice skating and winter adventures.
  • Young readers curious about animal tracks and Lake Superior’s natural environment.
  • Families seeking an illustrated story set outdoors in winter.

Book overview

Let's go! Experience the magic of skating on wild ice.

Two children wake up to hear the lake singing, then the wind begins wailing ... or is it a wolf? They bundle up and venture out into the cold, carrying their skates. On the snow-covered shore, they spot tracks made by fox, deer, hare, mink, otter ... and the wolf! In the bay, the ice is thick and smooth. They lace up their skates, step onto the ice, stroking and gliding, and the great lake sings again.

In her signature poetic style, Jean E. Pendziwol describes the exhilarating experience of skating on the wild ice of Lake Superior, including the haunting singing that occurs as the ice expands and contracts. Accompanied by Todd Stewart's breathtaking illustrations, this book will make us all long to skate wild!
