Max’s mum is a magical storyteller. She weaves wondrous worlds inspired by the intricate charms on her special bracelet – lockets, animals and glittering jewels. One day, Max breaks the bracelet and is distraught. But mum has the perfect solution . . . she pulls Max close and begins to share a story from when she was small. A story about the day she broke the bracelet too, and went searching for someone who might fix it.

Written with warmth and gentle humour by Perry Emerson, and illustrated with rich and whimsical detail by Laura Borio, this enchanting picture book is a tender celebration of storytelling and how the right words can bring people together and mend almost anything.

Perfect for families who love cosy and comforting adventures like A Child of Books by Oliver Jeffers and Sam Winston, The Bear and the Piano by David Litchfield, and the whacky charm of Wonka, this is a treasure of a book to read together again and again.
