“Covered in Flour: 1968: A Young Boy’s Perspective on School, Family, and Changing Times” is an intriguing read. The story begins from the year 1968. Carl was in third grade. His teacher Miss Veezi welcomed all the students to third grade. Carl had a 3-ring notebook with him and he was ready to fill it with the homework assignment.

His teacher gave the students an interesting homework assignment to watch a TV series called Julia. The show stars a Negro woman as a nurse. Carl was named after his grandpa Carlos Pozzi on his dad’s side. His mother and father met during a dance practice. They married and started their family. Carl is the only brother to three sisters. His one brother passed away just after he was born and Carl never got to meet him.

This is a coming-of-age story. Throughout the book, we read about Carl’s growing up years and the constantly changing world.

Through this book, the readers would get to know about the complexity of growing up in a rapidly changing America. Even though this is the debut work of the author, the writing style is amazing. I enjoyed reading this book.
