Summary
Isaac loves the sugar maple in his yard, and he can’t help but feel bad for it when its branches are winter-bare. He decides to give it a gift…and is surprised when the tree returns the favor in the new morning snow, presenting him with balls of…ice cream!
But how long can the magic last with spring on the horizon?
This magical exploration through the colors of the rainbow, the days of the week, and some of our favorite fruits is sure to delight readers of all ages!

My Kid Review
Angela Henderson has written a cute story. Isaac’s Ice Cream Tree is about a young boy who loves the maple tree that grows in his yard. Once the leaves have fallen, the boy visits the tree and brings it treats (fruit). Each day when he returns, the treat has been turned into ice cream. I can see young children loving this story and wanting to try getting a tree in their yard to turn fruit into ice cream.
The illustrations by Rachael Koppendrayer complement the text well, giving non-readers visuals for the story. The book could also be used to teach the colors of the rainbow.
Isaac’s Ice Cream Tree would be a great addition to the picture book section of a K-12 Christian school library. The youngest students will enjoy the “magicness” of the story.I received a complimentary copy of Isaac’s Ice Cream Tree. This is my honest review.

About the Publisher – WhiteSpark Publishing
Founded in 2018, WhiteSpark began with one simple goal: to provide quality Christian books for young readers. After years of hearing authors and readers ask for just this, WhiteSpark’s parent company, WhiteFire Publishing, decided it was time to step out in faith and try to deliver!
When WhiteFire acquired Ashberry Lane in the spring of 2018, it was a true boon for WhiteSpark ~ Ashberry Lane already had a stellar roster of middle grade books whose authors were eager to move the titles under the WhiteSpark imprint.
Where will we go and grow? We can’t wait to discover that…and to help you foster in your children a love of books and the Lord.
