The protagonist is a young boy named Jan, who lives with his mother and father. Jan's father is a soldier fighting in the war, and his mother works hard to provide for the family. The novel follows Jan's daily life, as he goes to school, plays with his friends, and helps his mother with household chores. However, the war has a significant impact on Jan's life, and he experiences many hardships, such as food shortages, bombings, and the loss of loved ones. Despite the challenges, Jan remains optimistic and resilient, and he learns important lessons about courage, kindness, and perseverance. Through Jan's eyes, the reader gains insight into the experiences of Belgian children during the war and the impact of war on civilian life.
