Judith Weinshall Liberman wrote and illustrated ICE CREAM SNOW in1996, but it was not until 2012 that she decided to publish the story and
illustrations as a book.



ICE CREAM SNOW is written in rhyming verse to convey the fast rhythmic
pace of the story. Tissue paper collage was selected for the illustrations
because the transparency and vibrant colors of the medium help to express
the enchantment of the narrative.



ICE CREAM SNOW tells the story of two young brothers, Marty and Ben,
who discover one night that it is snowing, except that the falling snow
consists of colorful balls of ice cream. Needless to say, the brothers are
eager to eat as much of this manna as possible, and to preserve the rest
for later consumption. The interactions between the two brothers and the
surprise ending add an exciting dimension to this imaginative tale.



Born in Israel (then called "Palestine"), Judith Weinshall Liberman came to
the United States in 1947 to pursue higher education. She earned four
American university degrees, including two in law. After settling in the
Boston area in 1956, she studied art and creative writing.



Since the early 1960s, Ms. Liberman has created numerous series of artworks,
using a wide variety of mediums. Her art has been widely exhibited, and is
represented in the collection of museums and other public institutions.



During her long career in visual art, Ms. Liberman wrote and published
several books. Her book THE BIRD'S LAST SONG (Addison-Wesley, 1976),
which she wrote and illustrated, won a citation as one of the "fabulous books
of the year."



Ms. Liberman's archives can be found in the Special Collections Department
of the Boston Public Library and at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.
