Written by Brentom Jackson, Illustrated by Emmanuel Boateng
Elijah wants to be the best dressed winner at church on Easter Sunday. He goes through many different outfits but doesn’t like any of them. He is starting to feel as if he is not going to find the perfect outfit. While looking he finds out from his family that when they were making clothing they would use old cloth from different types of fabric to make a new outfit. He finds fabric from all over his house and his family helps him make a new suit for Easter. His coat of many colors wins because he is including all of his family in his new suit. Really cute illustrations as well as the story.
