Product Information

The jacket was no ordinary jacket. It was soft, like dandelion fluff. It was warm, like the afternoon sun. It was comforting, like a hug from your favourite teddy.

In The Jacket, a child's favourite piece of clothing, which she outgrows, passes on to her little sister and then is repurposed for a new life. This is a heartwarming story about growing up and learning to let go of the things you become attached to in childhood.

Book Features:

  • An affectionate, familiar, warm and reassuring story.
  • Captures the chaos and delight of family life.
  • Their first picture book with Black Dog Books
