- "Ice Cream Man takes readers back to a time when ice cream was a luxury enjoyed only by the wealthy. The story follows Augustus Jackson, an African American born free during slavery, as he pursues his dream of making ice cream a sweet treat available to everyone."--

Gus would need to find a way to make it faster-- and to keep it from melting so quickly. As an adult he became a cook at the White House, a creative problem solver, and a successful entrepreneur-- all because he had a sweet dream! -- adapted from front flap
