To young Nina, her father is a hero who can do "absolutely everything under the sun," from fixing broken taps to philosophizing about the world. But everyday at school, Nina faces a challenge that feels impossible to fix. She is teased by the class bully for her "pale yellow tatters"-a torn, hand-me-down book covered in her siblings' scribbles.
Despite her mother's lessons that knowledge is better than material wealth, Nina struggles to ignore the "glitter and glamour" of her classmates' fancy stationery while they mock her modest belongings.
Everything changes when her father opens his ancient wooden tool box. With a little thread, some tape, and a lot of love, he transforms the tattered pages into something magnificent. Book? is a heartwarming tale that explores the universal "father-daughter bond" and the resilience needed to face down bullies. It encourages children everywhere to "creatively take charge" of their circumstances and find pride in who they are.
