A lovely picture book for every child who has outgrown a favourite toy or piece of clothing.

The jacket was no ordinary jacket. It was soft, like dandelion fluff. It was warm, like the afternoon sun. It was comforting, like a hug from your favourite teddy. In The Jacket, a child's favourite piece of clothing, which she outgrows, passes on to her little sister and then is repurposed for a new life. This is a heartwarming story about growing up and learning to let go of the things you become attached to in childhood.

I love reading this book to my little girl snuggled up on the couch together. In this era of zero waste to landfill this book has a fantastic message about upcycling your perfect outfit into something new to love all wrapped up in a warm hug.
