"On his last day before retirement, Mr. Frank is sewing the most wonderful outfit of his long career. 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 todays project is especially close to Mr. Frank's heart. With its use of textiles and sensitive period detail, Irene Luxbacher's artwork that is the perfect complement to her understated text. The result is a story that children and grandparents can share with equal delight" -- Provided from publisher.

A bit sad, but happy ending submitted by jgetty on July 9, 2015, 5:36pm I liked the colorful illustrations and gentle story. I was a bit sad that it was his last piece, but then it had a happy ending after all.
