Needle and Thread — Jan Thompson

Nie-Nie the giraffe's Mommy can fix anything with a needle and thread! She can sew patches on hats, mend holes in garden shirts, and even soothe her daughter's broken heart. Why is Nie-Nie's heart broken? Because her Gramps has died and she misses him so much! Nie-Nie and Gramps used to spend all their time together, working in the garden, telling one another 'knock, knock' jokes, and hanging out together like best friends. But now he is gone, and Nie-Nie is very sad. But Mommy has an idea, and that idea will help Nie-Nie come to terms with her loss and keep the wonderful memories of her Gramps alive.
