Sarah Sullivans lyrical text and Greg Sheds warm, nostalgic illustrations lend a southern flavor to this gentle tale of friendship and small kindnesses. Mister Macs ceiling fan stirs the heat while the icecream freezer hums its steady tune. Cold air hits my face when I slide the door open. Its summer on the river, hot enough to melt the tar on the roof, and Squirt is happy to be at Mister Macs General Store, where her grandfather is treating her to a cold, refreshing Popsicle. Her only dilemma is what flavor to choose until she meets a girl named Miracle, with her brightly patched dress, whos a nickel shy of buying her own frozen treat. With some quiet help from Granddaddy, Squirt makes just the right choice and ends up with something even better than TWO Popsicles a new friend.
