The Christmas Coat

Memories of My Sioux Childhood

Illustrator: Beier, Ellen

Beschreibung

Virginia's old coat is too small. The cold South Dakota wind blows across the Rosebud Indian Reservation, making her shiver as she walks to school. Virginia dreams of a new coat arriving in the Theast boxes - parcels of clothing from churches in ""The East"". But, she knows she may not have a chance for a coat this year.
