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.
