THE LITTLE HARDWARE SHOP

Down the street, not far away, there is a little hardware shop.  From paint for a baby’s new room to a rubber tip for an old man’s walking stick.  Travel through the pages of this book to find yourself down the street, not far away, in a little hardware shop with a BIG heart.

Inspired by the parents of the author who have owned and operated an independent hardware shop in the western suburbs of Melbourne for more than 40 years.  

The book features the vocabulary of 18 languages, many of which are spoken by the residents who have been customers of the local community hardware shop that the book is based on.
