What is The wolf's colourful coat about?

Wolfgang is thrilled to wear his bright, colourful coat when winter arrives. But when some nasty creatures laugh at him, he feels hurt and frightened, so he hides away in his tree house. With help from his friend Spider, Wolfgang finds the courage to talk about his feelings to someone he trusts. He discovers that things are not always what they seem and learns that staying true to himself can lead to kindness, understanding and wonderful surprises.
