The missing piece by Jordan Stephens and Beth Suzanna

Sunny is a young girl who loves constructing jigsaws. She loves the way the pieces connect together, but she feels that jigsaws are the only things that help her to be happy. Her wise Grandmother though, suggests to Sunny that there are other things that will bring her happiness. She gives Sunny an enormous jigsaw to complete but disappointingly one piece is missing. Sunny is determined to track down the missing piece and goes from house to house searching for it. Along the way, Sunny discovers some new friends and realises in the end that it is not just jigsaws that bring happiness.
