About Just Socks written by Mary-Lee Blemings and illustrated by Kyle Fleming
How would you like to get socks for Christmas?Â
When 10-year-old Riley gets socks from his Grandpa for Christmas, he is not impressed. His grandpa, however, has a plan that will have his grandson think differently about receiving just socks. The story Papa Dave tells is the true story of Riley’s great-great-grandfather’s life on a homestead in the Parry Sound district of Ontario, his work in a lumber camp near McKellar, Ontario, and his experience at Vimy Ridge in WWI.
