A young boy helps his grandfather harvest maple syrup from the maple grove that's been in their family for generations. The simple story, which takes readers through the process--from drilling holes in the trees to collecting the sap to sampling the finished product on pancakes--is filled with plenty of sensory details. Quiet oil paintings depict the first signs of spring in the woods.
