The Purple Coat

Every year, in the fall, Gabrielle gets a new coat. And every year her coat looks the same - navy blue with two rows of buttons and a half belt in the back. But this year Gabrielle wants something different - a purple coat. "Purple?" Mama laughs. But Gabrielle is quite serious. Alone with Grampa in his cozy tailor shop, Gabrielle does some fast talking. Still, even Grampa is dubious. His solution makes "The Purple Coat" a very special book, just right for every child who has ever wanted to try something different.
