Celebrate the tenth anniversary of Dolly Parton's iconic book Coat of Many Colors, inspired by her legendary song of the same name.

Although we had no money,
I was rich as I could be,
in my coat of many colors
my mama made for me.

Country music legend Dolly Parton's rural upbringing in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee provides the backdrop for this special picture book. Using lyrics from her classic song "Coat of Many Colors," the book tells the story of a young girl in need of a warm winter coat.

When her mother sews her a coat made of rags, the girl is mocked by classmates for being poor. But Parton's trademark positivity carries through to the end as the girl realises that her coat was made with love "in every stitch."

Beautiful illustrations pair with Parton's poetic lyrics in this tenth anniversary edition of Dolly's story, featuring a special butter-yellow fabric cover, and a new foreword from Dolly.
