Slice & Ice
A rhyming picture book born from a real family pizza night when everyone wanted something completely different. Bubba wants pepperoni with vanilla ice cream; Princess wants all the cheese with a rainbow sherbet; Mama needs Hawaiian on a gluten-free crust; Papa goes Meat Lover with chicken wings; Granny orders vegan with a dairy-free smoothie; Grandpa wants the combo with a banana milkshake. Every person and every preference is real. Each illustration pairs the order with an American city famous for that style — New York thin crust, Wisconsin cheese, Chicago deep dish, and more. And at the end there's a fun menu where kids get to choose their very own pizza and ice cream — a favorite part for young readers.

Author's Note
"One Christmas Eve we decided to order pizza. But everyone in the family wanted a different pizza! So I thought it would be fun to write a poem about it. Everyone in the book is a real person, and these are their real preferences! Can you spot which one is me?"
