Wallace, Ian.
THE MAN WHO WALKED THE EARTH
Toronto : Groundwood, 2003.
IL K-3
ISBN 0888995458
Back in the 1930s, there weren't many jobs around and people often had to leave their homes in search of work.  On a prairie farm in the far north, a father has left home to  find work.  In his absence, he has asked the family to set an extra place at each meal in case a stranger was in need.  On Christmas eve, a stranger did indeed stop by for a meal.  What he gave the family in return is truly magical.
