Covered in Flour Charles Presti Covered in Flour tells the story about young Carl Pozzi, growing up in 1960s suburbian America. A far cry from the tumultous riots that hit urban areas, his world is about playing with his friends – and his mother's delightful pasta dinners. Carl is a clever boy, with an open, inquisitive mind, whose world expands beyond childhood games as he grows older. He's keen to learn, and trying to understand more and more what's going on around him. But reality finally encroaches when he receives a ring binder, which reveals details he's never had to think about. His teacher is keen for the kids to realise that not everyone lives in utopia, but that racial tensions are real.
