Illus. in full color. "A fresh and moving story of a mother's dedication to
acquire a coat for her daughter in post-World War II hard times. Anna's mother
decides to trade the few valuables she has left for wool and for the services
of a spinner, a weaver, and a tailor. Lobel's pictures do a tremendous job of
evoking the period. Insightful and informative, this may make children consider
how precious the ordinary can become in times of turmoil."--(starred)
