When a little girl loses her papa—a tailor who makes beautiful clothes—the silence in the house is overwhelming. But maybe she and her other dad can bring the house back to life, starting with a single thread.
The sound of Papa’s sewing machine fills their home: Snip! Whir! Clank! Click, click, click! But then everything changes, and the house is silent. It has always been the three of them, doing things together: her helping Papa with his work when he grew tired; her visiting new places with Dad; the three of them reading together every night before bed. Now the girl and her dad are lost without Papa—until one day she has an idea about how she and Dad can bring the sound into their home again. Award-winning artist Aditi Anand makes her debut as an author-illustrator in this tender and moving picture book about family, loss, and remembrance—a poignant story full of love and hope, beautifully complemented by soft and glowing artwork.
