Now that her father was an itinerant worker, Janey didn't have a home she could call her own or any real friends, as her family had to keep moving, following the crops from farm to farm. Someday, Janey promised the willow plate, with its picture of a real house, her family would once again be able to set down roots in a community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlue Willow \u003c\/i\u003eis an important fictional account of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, and has been called \u003ci\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/i\u003e for children.
