Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In a starred review Publishers Weekly raves: "Itâs an avant-garde, surrealist story with a Hollywood-style tearjerker lurking withinâand a surprisingly charming and affecting one at that."
Award-winning poet Matthea Harvey and illustrator extraordinaire Giselle Potter team up to create an indescribably unique picture book about wanting to be normal, then coming to appreciate being different. Ruby would love to be like everyone elseânot easy when you have a tiara-wearing mother and a father who spends his time trimming outrageous topiary. She'd also like to get a nice normal pet, maybe a dog. Then, on a family vacation to Norway, she finds herself adopted by a small, affectionate glacier. How Cecil, as the ice pet is named, proves himself to Rubyârisking his own meltdownâis a story sure to thrill and delight young readers.
