The Ice Cream Team: A Sweet Story of Self-Discovery and Belonging by Debbie Masiak
Everyone has their own special flavor. Jordan just has to find hers.
Jordan doesn’t always feel like she fits in with her family. She’s tried and tried to figure out where she belongs—but nothing seems to work.
Then one day, she’s invited to try out for the Ice Cream Team, where every scoop, swirl, and sprinkle celebrates someone’s unique flavor. As Jordan steps into this sweet new adventure, she discovers that belonging doesn’t mean changing who you are—it means being celebrated for exactly who you’ve always been.
The Ice Cream Team is a heartwarming, confidence-boosting picture book that encourages kids to embrace their uniqueness and reminds them: there’s always a place for you in the world.
Perfect for ages 4–8 (and ice cream lovers of all ages!)
A great read-aloud for classrooms, libraries, and bedtime
Themes: self-esteem, belonging, confidence, fitting in, and acceptance
Whether shared at home or in school, The Ice Cream Team inspires children to celebrate their own flavor—and everyone else’s, too!
