From the mind of Japanese artist Naoshi comes the sweet and
charming world of Ice Cream Work. This utterly delicious
book tells the story of a humble ice cream cone man whose
search for work takes him many places and puts him in
challenging situations as he tries to earn a living over the
course of a week. Ice Cream Work features surreal characters
living in real world situations bursting with color and
detail. This book reminds us that everyone has unique traits
which make them special and emphasizes the importance of
creativity and imagination in daily life. Internationally
acclaimed artist Naoshi has created a brilliant and
fantastical world of her own full of quirky characters and
situations that draw the reader into pages bursting with
color. Using shiny colorful sand, known as Sunae in Japan,
Naoshi’s distinctive style is instantly memorable and
utterly original. In this, her first book for American
audiences, Naoshi introduces Sunae through the story, but
also in a crafty “How to Make Sunae” section where she
provides a step by step process of making “sand paintings”
like the ones seen in the book. There is also an interactive
“Look and Find” page which challenges readers to spot
details they might not have noticed before. Ice Cream Work
will delight readers young and old while introducing an
exciting new talent to American audiences.
