About This Book

Told through spare text and bold two-color illustrations, a forgotten old truck sits rusting on a farm until a young girl sees its potential and works to bring it back to life. Across generations and seasons, the truck is restored and put to use again, carrying forward a legacy of hard work and imagination.

Why We Love This

The striking, graphic art style is so distinctive, and the story of restoring something old and giving it new purpose resonates beautifully with kids and adults alike.
