Description: A heartwarming story based on the Dolly Parton song “A Coat of Many Colors.” The setting is Appalachia in the winter and a young girl does not have a coat. The mothers that get together every week to quilt decide to make her a coat of quilt scraps, all of which have a special story. However, she is not prepared for the reaction of her classmates to her coat. “Just a Heads Up” Being a paperback and not a board book, care must be taken when sharing it with younger children.
