About this ebook
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 ...

A truly sunny book. The metaphors in the story anticipate the metaphor that IS the story - the search for a solution is often the solution itself. I love the bright illustrations - you can taste, hear and smell those houses.
