Eager for maple syrup, Ethan canât wait till sugaring time rolls around. And he canât wait till his loose tooth falls out. But his father keeps telling him itâs not time yet, and no matter how hard he tries, he canât 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 Karasâs beautifully composed, evocative illustrations.
