The book opens with postman Anthony at the top of the Grand Canyon loading mules with letters and packages. The landscape's yellows, browns, and rust colors radiate heat; the palette changes to whites and blues to convey the danger of driving rain and sleet. An author's note provides detail about the process and of Brown's own expedition with Supai letter carriers.

A short and straightforward text describes the cooperative efforts of an Amish community as the men construct a new barn in one day. Washed in earth tones, the pen-and-ink art successfully conveys the huge scope of the project.
