First edition of Sugar On Snow by Nan Parson Rossiter: Two Vermont brothers are (finally!) old enough to help on the family farm, collecting sap to make maple syrup.
Written and illustrated by Nan Parson Rossiter. 2002, stated first edition, first printing. Dutton Children's Books, Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers.
Being a farm kid, Sugar On Snow evokes memories of my Dad and younger brother on a tractor, and both of us playing under the barn.
From the front flap:
"In this cozy picture book about a modern-day family in Vermont collecting sap to make maple syrup, two young brothers take pride in finally being old enough to help with every step of the sugaring-off process... Nan Rossiter's beautiful illustrations are infused with the light of early spring and with her fondness for the people and places of New England in this quiet tribute to teamwork on a small family farm."
