POWERHOUSE on 8th regular Stephen Savage returns to celebrate the launch of his new picture book The Mixed-Up Truck, about the struggles of cement mixer’s first day on the job.

About The Mixed-Up Truck:

“The book’s thematic elements—trucks and food and mastery of a skill—are well-pitched to a very young audience.” – Kirkus Reviews

It’s the cement mixer’s first day on the job, and he doesn’t want to make any mistakes. How can he help the other trucks on the construction site? By mixing some powdery white cement, of course!

When he mixes it up and adds a little water, things don’t quite turn out as planned. But he keeps trying and eventually learns that making mistakes isn’t always a bad thing.
