Illustrated with homey, intricately detailed black-and-white scratchboard drawings, this "perfect snowflake of a book" (New York Times Book Review) presents a nostalgic sequence of 20 vignettes depicting the different kinds of ice that form during one long winter. Poetic and artful while also filled with lots of boisterous winter activity, Twelve Kinds of Ice is a warm and memorable ode to the wonders and charms of country life. For another cosy celebration of winter, check out David Johnson's Snow Sounds.
