On his last day before retirement, Mr. Frank is sewing the most
wonderful outfit of his long career. Who could it be for?
In all his years working as a tailor, Mr. Frank has made all kinds of
clothes. From the practical uniforms of the 1940s to the wild and weird
designs of the 1960s and 1970s, he has seen (and sewn) just about
everything. But today's project is especially close to Mr. Frank's
heart.
With its use of textiles and sensitive period detail, Irene Luxbacher's
artwork is the perfect complement to her understated text. The result is
a story that children and grandparents can share with equal delight.
