Amelia wore she new jacket everywhere. It was warm and comforting - until the day it didn't fit any more and mom suggested she pass it down to sister Lilly. Amelia was sad to let her favorite jacket go, but reluctantly did it anyway. Soon, Lilly was wearing her new old jacket everywhere, too - until the day it didn't fit her any more either. So Lilly passed it down to her favorite doll, who wore it everywhere with Lilly - until Lilly went to school and stopped playing with dolls. By now, the jacket was pretty worn out and missing a button, forgotten about under Lilly's wardrobe. Until - the family cat found it and made a bed for her new kittens with it. Dirty, missing two buttons, with paint on the elbow and covered with cat hair, mom decides it is time to throw the jacket out. But Lilly remembered how special it was and didn't want to let it go. Clever mom knows just what to do and creatively gives the jacket new life and a new form to hand down to the new baby. The collage illustrations are done using fabric and paper adding texture and color to the otherwise muted background. This is a story that my young readers particularly liked, especially the end, but the whole story is as warm and cozy as the jacket itself.
