These joyous prose poems follow a family through a winter, from first ice to a goofy dad's ice capades. In Obed's lilting words and McClintock's cozy line drawings, we meet the Bryan family, the neighbors, and the students who drop in to skate. This is a celebration of play, winter, and imagination in an icy collection whose overarching quality is warmth.

Illustrated by
Anne Hunter.
This book explores the ways a Christmas tree is useful all year round. Each double-page spread begins by asking, "Who would like a Christmas tree in...?" and for every month one animal offers its perspective. Painterly watercolor and ink illustrations depict the animals against an ever-present grove of fir trees. Information on Christmas tree farm ecology is appended.
