Description/Notes
It's been a long time since Anna has had a new coat, and her mother vows to get one for her in this story of post-World War II Europe. 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) Booklist.??
