Summary:

When Augustus Jackson was a boy, ice cream was a luxury enjoyed only by the wealthy. He had a dream of making ice cream a sweet treat available to everyone.

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.
