The tiny woman makes a coat of leaves with the help of her animal friends. The trees, geese, porcupine, horse and plants all share something so the tiny woman can snip, snip, snip and stitch, stitch, stitch a coat to keep herself warm. When all is said and done, her friends have helped her create the perfect coat to keep her warm all winter long!
Friendship and sharing are at the heart of this warm and simple rhythmic poem by one of the world’s best children’s writers, Joy Cowley. Young readers will delight in everything tiny and small, including the fresh and funny illustrations by award-winning illustrator Giselle Clarkson. It's a charming and cozy read-aloud that will leave kids feeling snug as a bug.
"From New Zealand [comes] an inventive and delightful tale that evokes Thumbelina, the Borrowers, and other beloved wee characters.... Young readers will have fun echoing the repetitive phrases throughout the tale, adding their own voices to the narration." — Kirkus Reviews
