In Twelve Kinds of Ice, author Ellen Bryan Obed delightfully describes how a summer garden turns into a magical winter wonderland. 
This short series of vignettes occurs on a family farm in the children’s favorite season — “ice” season. The book is filled with the beauty of the cycle of winter and the ice skating that comes year after year. Obed poetically tells the tale of the first ice to the last and all the ice skating adventures in between.
