What is it that makes us feel whole? Friends, family, the last piece of a puzzle? The idea of wholeness is explored in this clever, colourful and multicultural picture book as a young child goes in search of ‘the missing piece’ that brings her the most special of feelings.
Sunny loves jigsaws, the way that the pieces fit together and the warm trickle of happiness when she places the last piece couldn’t be matched by anything else. Sunny cannot believe her luck when her Gran gives her a one-thousand-piece puzzle. It is Sunny’s biggest challenge yet. Carefully placing piece after piece, the end is nearing. But, oh no…the final piece is missing. Determined, Sunny sets off to find the last piece. Will she find the thing to make her whole…
A vibrantly illustrated and heartwarming story of discovering what really makes us whole and of finding happiness when you are least expecting it. With strong messages on family, friendship, kindness and what really makes us happy, this journey of self discovery brings together children of different cultures and experiences in a gentle and comforting hug that the world needs.
Recommended for 5+. With huge thanks to Bloomsbury for the copy I received in exchange for an honest review.
