My Apron: A Story from My Childhood Book

This is a true story of Eric Carle when he was 8 years old. First of all I would appreciate the artwork in this picture book. The medium of the illustration is complicated. Illustrator first draw pictures on a thin sheet of transparent polyester and then is superimposed onto the colored tissue-paper collage. This is a really unique way to illustrate. Eric was inspired by a french cubist painter called Fernand Leger. This story book is counterpoint so that we need to read the text while reading the story. But there are only few text on each page so that this is a good book for younger readers to read. The typography is formal so we could tell this is a true story. The end covers are all hot bring orange lines which I think could refer the passion that Eric wanted a white apron and wanted to help his uncle.
The story is about when Eric was a kid and he came over to his aunt and uncles' house. His uncle is a plasterer and he has a white apron with a big pocket in front. Eric always want have a white apron as his uncle and he wanted to help his uncle to paint the house. His aunt Elizabeth then made Eric a apron--just like uncle Adam. Little Eric helped uncle Adam carry plaster upstair few times. Uncle Adam said Eric is a good helper. Eric was a good helper! He decided he will help uncle Adam one more time. Next time he wants a hat, just like uncle Adam. There is a handwriting letter by Eric at the last page. Eric briefly introduced Uncle Adam and aunt Elizabeth.
Overall it is a good story for whole family to read.
