Unwrapping Some Illustrations
The Book
Elise is an adorable little girl who can't wait for her sister to pass down her amazing red coat to her. She has been waiting forever for her sister to grow out of it so it can belong to her.
Finally...a long last... Elise gets gifted with that special coat she so longs for. Hurray! She is one over-the-moon happy little sister.
All decked up in her new red coat off she skips to school to show everyone her prize coat. Along the way her tender heart encounters something that changes everything for her. Elise learns that the joy that comes from belongings cannot compete with the joy of reaching out and helping others less fortunate.
"The Coat" unmasks the hardships of being homeless and vulnerable and inspires readers to open up their hearts and treat less fortunate ones with compassion and respect. A downloadable discussion guide will be available October 2022 at flyawaybooks.com /resources. I love the message of the book and I highly recommend it.
