# The Coat - Hardcover

by **Séverine Vidal** (Author), **Louis Thomas** (Illustrator)

"This story is uplifting and will be a strong resource for teachers  
to talk about the importance of kindness. VERDICT A must for all  
libraries. It is not only a beautifully told story, but its message is  
full of heart. Children will love engaging in 'what would I do?'  
scenarios." - _School Library Journal_ (starred review)

  

Ah, the coat. So warm, so beautiful, so red. It's all Elise has  
really wanted, and she's been waiting forever. When will the coat be  
hers?

Then, a chance encounter changes everything, revealing that  
the pleasure that comes from belongings (even the perfect ones!) is no  
match for the joy of helping others.

At turns lighthearted and poignant, _The Coat_ offers  
a glimpse at the hardships confronting those who are experiencing  
homelessness, inspiring us to treat them with compassion and respect. A  
downloadable discussion guide is available at  
flyawaybooks.com/resources.
