Minna's Patchwork Coat

Hardback

Minna's papa died from working in the coal mines, and now she can't afford a winter coat to wear to school. When friends and neighbors make one from their fabric scraps, her classmates tease her about her rags--until she reminds them that her coat contains pieces of clothing that were once important to each of them; it's the stories they share that have turned her rags into a treasure.
