Almost Time

Eager for maple syrup, Ethan canโt wait till sugaring time rolls around. And he canโt wait till his loose tooth falls out. But his father keeps telling him itโs not time yet, andย no matter how hard he tries, he canโt make time pass more quickly. The closeness of father and son is evident throughoutย as they wait and then celebrate the end of waiting. The brief, lyrical textย is illuminated by G. Brian Karasโs beautifully composed, evocative illustrations.
