'An inspiring series for young and old makers by the award-winning author-illustrator team Alice Pung and Sher Rill Ng.
'Nine-year-old Millie Mak has discovered she has a superpower!
'Using everyday objects, Millie turns them into something new, beautiful and useful. Who would ever think that a sunhat could be made from an old bedsheet, a skirt from a tea-towel, or some hair scrunchies from a scarf?
'Through her creativity and clever thinking, Millie also deals with different friendships, tricky family challenges, and contributes to the school fete.
'You can make the special objects Millie creates from the detailed and yet easy-to-follow instructions included in the book. And best of all, nothing needs to be bought!
'From award-winning author-illustrator team, Alice Pung and Sher Rill Ng, comes the first book in an inspiring new series for young and old makers.' (Publication summary)
