Little Sunita and her family are trying to start a new life after a terrible fire. Their home and possessions—including all of Sunita's schoolbooks and toys—burned to ashes in the blaze. Worst of all, their puppy Taro is missing.
Sunita’s parents are busy building their new home, and no one has time to listen to Sunita's worries. But she is lucky enough to have an observant teacher, who comes to her aid. The teacher takes Sunita to meet her doctor friend and she teaches Sunita how to knit a new sleep toy to replace the missing one.
Sunita learns that you can be wounded not only on the outside but also beneath the surface. Fortunately, both can heal.

Lille Sunita og hendes familie forsøger at starte et nyt liv efter en forfærdelig brand. Deres hjem og ejendele – inklusiv alle Sunitas skolebøger og legetøj – er blevet brændt til aske i flammerne. Det værste af det hele er, at deres hundehvalp er borte.
Sunitas forældre har travlt med at bygge deres nye hjem, og der ikke nogen, som har tid til at høre på Sunitas bekymringer. Men hun er så heldig at have en opmærksom lærer, som kommer hende til hjælp. Læreren tager Sunita med hen for at møde en ven, som er læge, og læreren viser Sunita, hvordan hun skal strikke et nyt sovedyr til at erstatte det, som er blevet væk.
Sunita lærer, at man kan blive såret ikke kun udenpå, men også indeni. Heldigvis kan begge dele blive hele igen.
