Author Information

Cherished memories of reading books with her daughter when she was young inspired Sault Ste Marie-based author Jan Thompson to write this original children's story. The story, Needle and Thread, is a sweet, simple and sensitive story about a little girl giraffe, her Gramps, and her Mommy-who can fix anything with a needle and thread. By repeating the refrain, Needle and Thread, Needle and Thread, throughout the book, Jan gently demonstrates to children how ordinary, everyday moments can become precious, everlasting memories and a true source of comfort at a time of loss.
