The fix-it man by Dimity Powell, illustrated by Nicky Johnston. EK Books 2017. A young girl’s mother suffers from a long-term illness – one not fixable by anyone, including doctors. Her death is not stated in the text, and only obliquely referenced by the fix-it dad being broken, as is the girl. Together, though, they start to fix each other. ‘We can fix things together, just Dad and me.’
