The Cookcamp
What's The Cookcamp About
In 1944, a little boy’s mother has to work in a factory in Chicago while his father is away at war, so she sends the boy to stay with his grandmother, who cooks for a work crew building a road from Minnesota to Canada. Living in the forest is a great adventure; Grandma gives him her affection and delicious things to eat; the huge men at the camp give him rides in their trucks and tractors. But no matter how wonderful life with Grandma is, he misses his mother. Much as she-loves having him with her, Grandma finds a way to help him return home.
