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 passing’ 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.”
