CIP Info Throughout the seasons in northern Vermont, Darrell helps his neighbors with snowplowing, supplying wood, and excavation work, never finding time to fix his own barn roof, but when a windstorm passes through town, he finds his kindness to his neighbors returned. Small towns always have that one go-to person. They take care of pushing snow and helping anyone when they can, sometimes taking pay other times not. In the end when, Darrel’s barn roof needed replacing all of his neighbors came to help. Pretty good really. My Grandpa was just like Darrel, helping whoever he could whenever they needed it. The illustrations done by Caldecott winner are quite good. The wood cuts add that extra home feel to the story. Illustrations done in woodcuts, hand-tinted with watercolors.
