About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is frustrated by a mistake, a broken toy, or a tear in their favorite clothes. This wordless story follows a hardworking farmer whose busy days lead to inevitable wear and tear on his blue overalls. Rather than discarding them, he lovingly patches every hole with a new, vibrant scrap of fabric. It is a quiet but powerful meditation on resilience, showing how our 'scars' and repairs can actually make us more colorful and unique. Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, this book validates the reality of things breaking while celebrating the creativity and pride found in fixing them. It transforms the concept of 'damaged' into 'decorated,' making it an essential read for building a growth mindset and a sense of resourcefulness.
