<p><strong>A New York Times bestseller!</strong><br><strong>Country music legend Dolly Parton lends the lyrics of her classic song &quot;Coat of Many Colors&quot; to this heartfelt picture book that beautifully captures the love of her favorite winter coat—and how her trademark positivity shaped her childhood.</strong><br><em>Although we had no money,</em><br><em>I was rich as I could be,</em><br><em>in my coat of many colors</em><br><em>my mama made for me.</em>Dolly Parton&#39;s rural upbringing in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee provides the backdrop for this special picture book that tells the story of a young girl in need of a winter coat. Using lyrics from her classic song &quot;Coat of Many Colors,&quot; Dolly fondly chronicles how her mother sews her a coat made of rags, and how she is mocked by classmates for being poor. But Parton&#39;s positive outlook carries through to the end as the girl realizes that her coat was made with love &quot;in every stitch.&quot;<br>Whimsical illustrations pair with Parton&#39;s poetic lyrics in this heartfelt picture book that eloquently reveals how love and positivity make us richer than anything money can buy.</p>
