A tender father-and-son story about the passage of time, the change of
seasons, and the excitement of reaching a goal.
Eager for maple syrup, Ethan can't wait till sugaring time rolls around.
And he can't wait till his loose tooth falls out. But his father keeps
telling him it's not time yet, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't
make time pass more quickly. The closeness of father and son is evident
throughout as they wait and then celebrate the end of waiting. The
brief, lyrical text is illuminated by G. Brian Karas's beautifully
composed, evocative illustrations.
