Zara loves puzzles. For her, fitting the pieces together is more than just a hobby—it's a way to bring order to the world around her. Every piece has a place, and nothing feels out of control. But life isn't always as simple as a puzzle.


Kate, Zara's 84-year-old grandmother, used to have steady hands and a sharp memory. Now, her thoughts sometimes drift, her words repeat, and she forgets things she used to know. Moving in with Zara's family has been both a challenge and a gift, as she and Zara navigate their differences, routines, and the quiet moments that make them closer.


As they sit together, working on a beautiful 1,000-piece puzzle, their conversation drifts from memories of the past to the realities of the present. Kate tells stories, some of which she's told before. Zara listens patiently, not always understanding, but always caring. When Kate forgets something, Zara is there to remind her. And when a piece of their puzzle goes missing, they search together—just like they do in life.


Pieces of Us is a heartwarming, gentle story about love, memory, and the bonds that connect generations. Perfect for young readers aged 7-8, this touching tale explores patience, family, and the ways we help each other find the missing pieces in our lives. A beautifully written and emotionally rich story for children and families who cherish quiet, meaningful moments together.
