Saturday at the Garage by Nancy Hundal, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In this charming story, a young girl spends a day working in a garage with her father. Told in her voice, the girl demonstrates what it’s like to work in a non-traditional work setting. Her father has been “slowly passin’ on the magic to me" and taught her skills she needs to help: she is able to pump gas, use the cash register in the store, to make change, and even helps her Dad by passing him the tools he uses to repair cars. He teaches her many small things about his job and she feels, in looking at his grease covered hands, that “someday my hands will look that way too."With imagination and humour, she shows the merit in always being polite, in being kind to people and animals and how fun parents can be - especially when her father gives her a ride high in the air on the shop’s car hoist! And then there’s the elf that funny customer Gordie says lives in the recesses of the garage - or does it? | Saturday at the Garage by Nancy Hundal, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
