My Grandfather's Coat
by Jim Aylesworth
Age: Preschool-1st grade
Family: Father, grandfather, great-grandfather
Clothing: Tailor, remaking clothing
One piece of fabric is transformed by Grandfather's tailor hands into a coat, blazer, vest, tie, toy, and finally a cozy nest for a mother mouse and her babies. A simple story of reinvention and hard work that demonstrates the longevity something can have if it is loved. Parallel to this story is a family growing, transforming, and expanding, revealing that the granddaughter is telling her grandfather's story to his great-grandson. The illustrations are top-notch and perfectly compliment the story. Meaningful and charming.
