Together, Miss Tizzy and the children bake cookies, make pictures for people who have stopped smiling, play dress-up, put on puppet shows and parades, and strech out on bright quilts in Miss Tizzy's backyard for an evening of singing songs about the moon.
And when Miss Tizzy becomes ill and takes to her bed, the children know just what to do to make her feel missed and loved.
