Joseph had a Little Overcoat is a children story by Simms Taback. This book is a 2000 Caldecott Medal winner and is absolutely fantastic.
The story is about a tailor who is resourceful and keeps transforming his overcoat into smaller items. The message Simms Taback is making is that you can always make something out of nothing. Aside from the great message this story offers, the colors are rich and vibrant, and has many small details in the background.
If you haven't read it already, I recommend going out and buying it right away, or at least going to the library and checking it out :)
You can also create many great lesson plans based off of this book.
