Bookroo's summary
Miss Tizzy, with her vibrant house and whimsical ways, is adored by the neighborhood children. Together, they create art, bake, and sing under the moon. But when Miss Tizzy falls ill, the children must find a way to return the love and happiness she has always given them. Can their heartfelt gestures lift her spirits and show her how much she means to them?

Miss Tizzy wears a purple hat with a white flower in it. She lives in a pink house with an overgrown garden. Parents may think her peculiar, but the children love her.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.
