Almost Time
Gary D. Schmidt, Elizabeth Stickney
Ethan eagerly waits for sugaring season with his dad. At late-winter breakfasts without maple syrup, he repeatedly asks whether the time has come. His father explains that they are still waiting for longer daylight, milder weather, and eventually for Ethan’s loose tooth to come out. The story follows Ethan as he has two longed-for events on his mind: the start of making maple syrup and the loss of his tooth. Details of winter nature and syrup-making accompany his wait.
