A big yellow excavator. A brand-new school. And one little boy who is proud of the important work his dad does every day.
Every morning, Eli watches Dad pull on his work boots, grab his hard hat, and head to the construction site. Dad operates a powerful excavator, helping his crew dig, lift, clear, and prepare the ground for a new school in their town.
As Eli learns more about Dad's day, he discovers that big machines need careful operators, every crew member has an important role, and building something meaningful takes skill, patience, and teamwork.

- A full day on a realistic school construction site
- Big excavators, dump trucks, concrete, pipes, and hardworking crews
- A warm father-and-son story filled with pride and imagination
- Bright full-color illustrations made for construction-loving kids
Perfect for children ages 3 to 8, My Dad Operates an Excavator is a heartfelt picture book for kids who love big machines, construction vehicles, and the people who build the places their communities need.
