Sundae Sundays

Every Sunday for 23 years, jolly "Sundae Man" with his crooked white mustache and bright blue flecks in his green eyes has been making ice cream sundaes for anxious families. Why he does so has remained a decades-old mystery. As a helpful distraction from her worry over her baby brother, a little girl becomes Sundae Man's eager weekly assistant, jotting down ice cream requests and putting stemmed cherries atop towering sundaes.
One afternoon, while helping him fill orders with hot fudge, butterscotch syrup, sprinkles, and crushed cookies, the little girl solves the mystery to her great delight.
This touching story illustrates the deep, lifelong bonds of family, and creatively offers connection, comfort, and reassurance concerning time spent away from loved ones.
