Almost Time by Elizabeth Stickney, Gary D. Schmidt
Ethan knows it's almost maple syrup time, but it's so hard to wait! This quiet picture book pays homage to maple syrup farms and the slow, gradual change of the seasons as Ethan waits for small changes that mean the sap will start running - the days will get warmer, the nights will grow shorter...
This is a perfect late winter book for sharing, especially if you have a maple syrup farm nearby (like we do!). I think it would have benefited from back matter explaining how we get maple syrup.
Pair with And Then It's Spring by Julie Fogliano or Every Autumn Comes the Bear by Jim Arnosky for more books about the slow change of the seasons.
