The Little Coat: The Bob and Sue Elliott Story by Alan J. Buick

Sussie Cretier was 10 when she met Bob Elliott, a Canadian soldier assigned to help liberate her area of the Netherlands from the invading German army. On Christmas Day 1944, the soldiers gave Sussie a special coat sewn for her from a Canadian Army blanket. Decades later, Bob and Sue reconnected and their relationship blossomed. Because of this book, Sue’s coat was donated to the Canadian War Museum. C. 2009, 978-0-9810394-3-5, 176 pgs, 40 photos, Ages 10 to Adult, Nonfiction.
