Preview: Hear it

On a warm afternoon in late summer, when the sorghum cane is ripe and ready, Grandpa decides its time to make molasses. There is so much to do. The cane needs to be cut. Then the juice needs to be squeezed out and cooked, ever so slowly, until its dark brown and thick with sweetness. Everyone helps. And everyone knows that Grandpa makes the best molasses ever. Thats why hes called Molasses Man. But one day someone else will take over for Grandpa. Who will be the next Molasses Man? With Felicia Marshalls rich paintings and Kathy L. Mays illuminating text, this book colorfully describes the making of molasses and the importance of cherished family traditions.
