It helps you to see a little girl's piece of work (5)
I believe the answer is:
visor
'piece of work' is the definition.
'visor' can be an answer for 'piece' (I have seen 'piece of armour' mean 'visor' so perhaps 'piece' could also mean 'visor'). I am not certain of the 'of work' bit.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for visor that I've seen before include "shade" , "Face-protector" , "Eyeshade" , "One protecting" , "Part of an armour helmet" .)
