Anna's mother had promised to buy her a new winter coat when the war was over. But when World War II ended, there were still no coats to be had. There was hardly any food, and no one had any money.
Things seem hopeless until Anna's mother thinks of a very unusual way to get Anna a new winter coat at last.
Based on a true story. An ALA Notable Children's Book.
