"I'll Be a Carpenter" by Silvia Baroncelli follows the journey of a young girl named Giulia, who dreams of becoming a skilled carpenter despite the societal expectations placed upon her. Living in a small Italian village where traditional gender roles are deeply entrenched, Giulia faces skepticism and resistance. Through determination and creativity, she challenges these norms, learning the art of woodworking alongside her supportive mentor. As Giulia carves her path, she discovers her passion, forges new friendships, and inspires others to pursue their dreams, regardless of societal constraints. The story is a heartfelt celebration of empowerment, resilience, and self-discovery. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
