Using lyrics from her classic song “Coat of Many Colors\,” the book tells the story of a young girl in need of a warm winter coat. When her mother sews her a coat made of rags\, the girl is mocked by classmates for being poor. But Parton’s trademark positivity carries through to the end as the girl realizes that her coat was made with love “in every stitch.” Beautiful illustrations pair with Parton’s poetic lyrics in this heartfelt picture book sure to speak to all young readers. \nAbout the Author \nDolly Parton is an internationally renowned superstar who has contributed timeless classics to the world of music entertainment\, including “Jolene\,” “Coat of Many Colors\,” and the mega-hit “I Will Always Love You.” She has garnered 7 Grammy Awards\, 10 Country Music Association Awards\, 5 Academy of Country Music Awards\, 3 American Music Awards and is one of only five female artists to win the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year Award.
