Description

Millie Mak is now ten, and often feels shy and awkward. But by using her special gift to make handy and beautiful things, Millie befriends residents at the aged care home where her mum works. When the whole school becomes involved in making hats for the residents, a tricky situation arises between Millie's friends. Millie is a maker - but can she also mend friendships?
Millie also discovers her sewing superpower can attract the attention of important adults. And when she and her friends are invited to be on TV - on Young Hero Hour! - they must work out how to stay true to themselves.
From the creators of Millie Mak the Maker comes further exciting adventures, plus detailed but easy-to-follow instructions to make the beautiful things that feature in the book.
