Sugaring time

Sugaring Time by Kathryn Lasky is a Newbery Honor book about a family in Vermont that taps the Sugar Maple trees each year to make maple syrup. This is a time honored tradition in the Northeast United States and Lasky captures both the magic and scientific nature of the process in her book.

"In lyrical prose and black-and-white photographs, Lasky's book depicts the Lacey family of Vermont making maple syrup...A rare kind of nonfiction, informative yet as easily read as fiction."
