In a starred review Publishers Weekly raves: "Itโs an avant-garde, surrealist story with a Hollywood-style tearjerker lurking withinโand 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 elseโnot 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 Rubyโrisking his own meltdownโis a story sure to thrill and delight young readers.
