anansewa said: Her mother has gone north to find work in the Chicago train yards because this is a time when the men are at war and many women throughout the United States have stepped up to fill their shoes. Letters and days being missed are seen through her daughter who probably doesn't even realize that her mother too is a WWII hero. Warm illustrations depicting a southern home and a little girl's aloneness that is waiting for her mother to come on home soon.
