Sugaring Time is a 1983 children's nonfiction book written by Kathryn Lasky with photographs from her husband Christopher G. Knight. The story follows a Vermont family, the Laceys, as they diligently work to collect and process sap into syrup, beginning with tapping the trees to allow the sap to flow out; the sap is collected and brought to the sugar house for boiling, which evaporates the water in the sap, leaving behind maple syrup.[1][2] The title refers to the time of the year when the sap begins to flow upward from the roots of the trees and can be harvested.[3] The book earned a Newbery Honor in 1983.[4]
