The Lost Coat

All the children’s coats in the school cloakroom are chatting happily with each other about their day. One coat, however, has a horrible, shameful secret! What could that secret be? Find out how one lonely coat turns into a cool coat when its owner makes wise choices!
In The Lost Coat, Sue Ellis sensitively handles the difficult topic of knife crime and gang culture in a gentle way for young children to read and discuss. Children, parents, grandparents and teachers will enjoy the humour in the story and agree that sharing a problem with others helps keep us all safe, happy, hopeful, optimistic and confident.
 
In the same vein as Sue Ellis’s first two books, Gorgeous Gwendolen Goose and Other Stories and Proud Patrick Peacock and Other Stories, The Lost Coat encourages all readers to be the best version of themselves!
The Ben Kinsella Trust, one of the leading anti-knife crime charities in the UK, will receive a donation from the royalties received for the purchase of this book to help them in their wonderful work campaigning against knife crime and help educate young people about its dangers.
