Description: Inspired by a true story from Eric Carle’s childhood, this book follows a little boy who gets to help his plasterer uncle for the day. Given his own apron and tools, the boy feels proud and important as he learns about the trade and enjoys working side by side with his uncle. The simple text and Carle’s iconic collage artwork capture the wonder of stepping into an adult role and the bond between generations. It’s a quiet, inspiring reminder of how everyday experiences can be big adventures for a child.
