ttle boy is sent to stay with his grandmother. Grandma cooks for nine men who are building a road from Minnesota to Canada.
Living in the forest is a great adventure. The little boy helps his grandmother, who gives him her love and delicious things to eat. He plays outdoors each day, and the huge men at the camp give him rides in their trucks and tractors. If only he had his mother. It's hard to be brave with his father fighting in the war and his mother far away in Chicago. Grandma understands his feelings. Can she find a way to help him to return home?
They came in like all the outside and ruffled his hair and laughed and talked and ate until everything, everything was gone--all the biscuits and pancakes and coffee--until each and every can of condensed milk had been poured into each and every cup of coffee and was now empty and each sugar bowl was empty and everything was gone. Gone.
Then they rose, almost as one man, rose and put their small-looking, greasy caps on their heads and pinched snoose into their lower lips and said "Thank you, thank you" to the boy's grandmother. "Thank you for the good food."
And outside they stomped, and soon the boy could hear the roar of the engines again. But when he rushed to the small window next to the door he could see nothing but thick forest that came in close to the trailers.
