The Life of a Coat
Checking Availibility...Description
When the father of a large family makes a beautiful winter coat, little does he know how much use it will get. Little Gedalia wears the coat with pride all year, but when it gets too tight for him--he's a growing boy, after all--it's given to his sister, Yeshaya. Thus begins the journey of the coat as it's passed down from child to child, a charming portrait of a loving family. Drawn in a clean-line style with a muted color palette, The Life of a Coat is based on the beloved Yiddish poem by the Polish poet Kadya Molodowsky and will delight young readers and their parents.

"A dark, witty picture of Jewish life in pre-World War II Eastern Europe. ... highly recommended both for children and for adults who are interested in Yiddish literature."
