Winter in the forest was bitterly cold—the wind never stopped blowing, the drizzle never ceased, and the bare branches trembled endlessly. In the freezing cold, every animal longed for a warm coat. But what could they do?
This is a delightful tale about the journey to make warm coats for all the creatures, using the most extraordinary needles, threads, and scissors—ones that could only be found deep in the forest!
