About This Book
Reach for this book when your little helper's big ideas result in an even bigger mess. It is the perfect tool for those moments when a child's natural curiosity and desire to be 'grown up' lead to a mistake that requires an apology or a lesson in boundaries. The story follows Mikey, a boy with a passion for tools and fixing things, who decides to give his dad's motorcar a bit of an unauthorized upgrade. It captures the tension between wanting to be useful and the reality of making a blunder. Parents will appreciate how the book models family love and forgiveness. Through lighthearted rhyming verse, it helps children aged 3 to 8 understand that while their intentions might be good, they need to check in before 'fixing' important items. It is a gentle way to discuss responsibility, the limits of one's skills, and the importance of honesty when things go wrong.
