Unveiling the Book
This book tells the tale of a dump truck name Dylan who has a very hard time focusing and is easily distracted by the world around him. He is on a busy construction site where it is crucial that rules be followed precisely and instructions be adhered to exactly for the safety and well-being of every worker there.
Dylan has to learn that there are expectations for him to perform correctly and boundaries that he is not to cross. His lack of attention and poor listening skills may result in needless risks and be a danger to not only himself but to those working with him.
He must learn to pay attention and concentrate on the orders he has been issued. But is Dylan capable of doing that? Does he finally learn and prove that being absent minded is not a good thing and everyone on the work site is entitled to his best team effort of getting the job done safely and without incident. It is a great life lesson to teach little ones at an early age.
The metaphorical illustrations are simple, cartoon-like and kid friendly and the message is positive. Dylan is a role-model for taking responsibility for your own behaviour and in so doing changing it to make you a better person.

About the illustrator
After obtaining a masters in plastic art, Sébastien Chebret continued in 2007 a DEA of Arts and current societies in Bordeaux, with the theme of youth illustration.
Illustrator touches everything, he mixes different techniques: various and varied paintings through the gouache, acrylic, watercolor; he likes to work on collage (especially from recovered papers almost everywhere in flea markets). His illustrations are marked by the growing presence of the digital tool.
