Icy Fruit: How My Grandfather Spread the Joy of Ice Pops Across Taiwan

This fun and fascinating biography of a Taiwanese ice pop entrepreneur–the author’s beloved grandfather–is a terrific read-aloud about inventiveness and the treats of summer.

Charlotte Cheng’s grandfather always had a bag of coins rustling in his pocket. That bag carried with it “a story of joyful jingles, sultry summers, and fresh frozen fruit which began in 1965 in the lush valleys and mountains of an island called Taiwan.”

This story of Agong’s Icy Fruit company, from first inspired idea through experimentation to countrywide success, is a lyrical, lively, and richly illustrated read that’s part biography, part family tribute, and part celebration of summer. Gather round for Icy Fruit!
