On his last day before retirement, Mr. Frank is sewing the most wonderful outfit of his long career. Who could it be for? In all his years working as a tailor, Mr. Frank has made all kinds of clothes. From the practical uniforms of the 1940s to the wild and weird designs of the 1960s and 1970s, he has seen (and sewn) just about everything. But today’s project is especially close to Mr. Frank’s heart. With its use of textiles and sensitive period detail, Irene Luxbacher’s artwork is the perfect complement to her understated text. The result is a story that children and grandparents can share with equal delight.

弗兰克先生是一位裁缝。这么多年来，他一直都在量啊、裁啊、缝啊、补啊、烫啊。他这一辈子，为许多特别的人做过许多特别的衣服。可是在这个特别的日子里，他接到了一个订单，要为一个特别的人做一套衣服。这套衣服要比六十多年前他补过的制服更贴身，比他五十多年前做过的西装还要时髦，比他四十多年前缝过的裙子还要活泼，比他二十五年前补过的牛仔裤还要舒服……弗兰克先生今天做的这套衣服非常完美，完美得让他觉得缝完最后一针之后，没有任何事情可做了。他恋恋不舍地看了周围一眼，把店里收拾了一下，然后关上了店门……

这是一本关于手艺、关于传承、关于爱的图画书。透过老裁缝的回忆，带孩子走入具有时代气息的年代，感受亲情、感受爱。
