A New Coat for Anna PP

A New Coat for Anna is the story of a young girl and her mother living in the aftermath of World War II. The war is over, but the stores are still empty, there is very little food, and no one has any money. Anna has outgrown the coat she has worn for years, and her mother devises a plan to provide a new coat for Anna. With patience, hard work, and sacrifice, her mother is able to do exactly that. Author Harriet Ziefert based A New Coat for Anna on the true story of Ingeborg Schraft Hoffman, M.D., whose mother, Hanna Schraft, began with a few belongings and ended by providing her daughter with a beautiful, new coat.
