Author: Jim Aylesworth

Illustrator: Barbara McClintock

Aylesworth’s book is a retelling of the same “you can always make something from nothing” Yiddish folksong, this time as an immigrant-to-America tale. It is a rollicking, rhyming, fun rendition of a favorite folksong about a many-times recycled coat -- by the award-winning, bestselling team of Jim Aylesworth and Barbara McClintock.

Heart-warming pictures celebrate the clever recycling of a beloved coat that lasts four generations -- until it becomes this story!


 *This book was awarded the Sydney Taylor Book Award, which recognizes the best in Jewish literature for children and teens each year.
