"It's sugaring season. It's early springtime in the forest. The snow is melting, and the sweet maple trees are budding. That can only mean one thing; it's time to collect the sap and make some delicious maple syrup! ...This little story is an introduction to the traditions, tools and skills involved in creating maple syrup." -- Back cover.

Two young brothers help their Dad in another season of sugaring off, the process by which maple syrup is made. The process of collecting maple tree sap in buckets, to boiling it down into syrup is described here as it follows this family's day of creating this sweet treat.
