With black and white illustrations with the color green, to honor recycling and Earth Day. Children learn the power of and want to donate. Thrifting and second-hand stores are important, sharing, kindness, and caring.
Jodi Dee's picture book story, The Little Green Jacket, is quite simply amazing. In adult literature, this simple children's tale would compare to The Red Violin as an object, in this case, a green jacket, makes its way from one owner to the next, sharing its warmth, love, and the magic of caring. The illustrations are superb and cleverly executed.
