Demi,

The Hungry Coat: A Tale from Turkey

(3) K-3 In this famous tale, Nasrettin Hoca refutes the idea that clothes make the man by demonstrating to his rich friends that they only care about ornate dress and not about the inherent goodness of the person inside. Demi's characteristic attention to detail and authenticity and her delicate style and intense use of color bring new life to a traditional tale.
