Title: Karoleena's red coat
Description: Summary, from inside jacket cover:
The first day of school was coming soon and Karoleena could hardly wait. She would be wearing her present from Grandmother--a bright red coat with brass buttons--and, best of all, she would meet some other little girls to play with!
But when the big day finally arrived, poor Karoleena was teased for being the only one in her class with a red coat. And as days passed, she still hadn't made any new friends.
How another exciting present from Grandmother helped to change this situation is a delightful story of long-ago Austria, based upon a background of the author's own European childhood.
