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 canā€™t wait till sugaring time rolls around. And he canā€™t wait till his loose tooth falls out. But his father keeps telling him itā€™s not time yet, and no matter how hard he tries, he canā€™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 Karasā€™s beautifully composed, evocative illustrations.

This sweet story shows that some things are always worth the wait.
