The story here is a simple one: the tailor makes a garment that he loves and wears until it is no longer presentable, at which point he remakes it into something for a family member. The cycle continues until it is completely worn out. It's a story of using our resources to their fullest. A solid message, especially in a throw-away culture. But what really makes this book shine is the illustrations. On each page the vibrant, patterned fabric flows across and illustrates the way it is used. It has an almost magical quality. Delightful
