This is a great book. It is an authentic source children's book teaching the harvesting of maple syrup and sugar. Porky White, who the book features, is an elder sho has passed away. This book captures his story of sugar making. No romantic Indian images here. Real people participating in the traditional way of life. I think this is a great book for kids and adults. Would be good in the classroom.

I really liked this book and when my son was studying native americans in his 2nd grade class, they used this book. It describes how the indians worked the sugar bush and how it was part of the balance of nature. Also,it explored how they created something that others wanted so that they could trade. This book has lots of colored pictures and has a glossary. It is a great intro to doing research. I'd recommend this book for 2-5th grade students who want to know more about how diverse indian culture can be.

Nice book about contemporary Native Americans making syrup

As a homeschooling mother and maple syrup producer, I like to find quality children's books that talk about syrup. This one does that, and also tells the story of a Native American man who collects sap and makes syrup in modern times. It's a nice story of community and is respectful of this Native American tradition. My 6-year-old daughter enjoys telling other people the heartwarming legend of Ininatig in which the tree teaches the hungry Native Americans how to make syrup from it.
