Synopsis

A heart-warming, fresh and original story about family and friendship from brand-new picture book author, writer and performer Jordan Stephens.

Sunny loves jigsaw puzzles - the bigger the better. When she completes one, she gets a warm, happy honeybee buzz. One day, her Gran gives her a ONE-THOUSAND-PIECE puzzle. Piece after piece, all by herself, she puts together the picture, until . DISASTER! The final piece is missing. Sunny may be small, but she is very determined - so she sets off to find it.

As the day whizzes by in a whirl of new places and friends, Sunny discovers that looking for something is every bit as fun as finding it, and that perhaps the missing piece was there all along .

SHORTLISTED for the Inclusive Books for Children award 2024
