Ju-Girl loves to hang out with her Grandad in his garage. He works on cars and she loves hanging out with him. Cleaning the rags and sorting his sockets. He tells her about how the old blue pickup traveled all over Jamaica, making deliveries for everyone. She tells her Grandad that he should get the old blue pickup going so they can drive around in it. He gets it going and he drives her around the island telling her stories of their family and the people they live with in Jamaica. When they get back she gets a present from her Grandad. Her very own pink socket set. She is so excited because Grandad says that when she gets older she gets to have the old blue pickup. Very cute book.
