Take part in an interactive storytelling adventure, led by the writer and illustrator of the heart-warming new children’s book The Missing Piece.
Sunny loves jigsaw puzzles – the bigger the better. When she completes one, she gets a warm, happy honey bee 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 finding it, and that perhaps the missing piece was
there all along…
This heartfelt, warm, and wise story celebrates the power of family bonds, the joy of making new friends, and the importance of finding what makes you feel whole.
