Juanito likes to draw and wants to become an artist. His Father is a landscape contractor, owns a landscaping business, and feels Juanito is now old enough to come to work with him. Juanito brings his sketchbook to draw anything interesting. Juanito helps with the mowing and planting. His father even lets him draw a landscape design for one of the yards he is working on. John Parra creates an engaging book about the bond of a father and son.

I enjoyed the story of how the father nourished his son’s artistic talent as well as teaching him life skills. The illustrations were enjoyable and imaginative.
