The Purple Puffy Coat by Maribeth Boelts
A new book by Iowa writer Maribeth Boelts. She clearly knows that one needs a puffy warm coat on blustery days like we are having in Iowa today. So when it is almost Stick Bug's birthday, his friend Beetle must give him his birthday present early. Of course, the present is in Beetle's favorite color - purple. Soon it becomes clear that the coat is the present that Beetle really would have liked but it's not quite what Stick Bug would have chosen.
The coat, however, doesn't really suit Beetle either - but it is her favorite color. But Stick Bug has a solution. A great solution it is.
You must read this book of friendship and ingenuity, and learning to pay attention to what makes others happy; not just what makes you happy.
