«El abrigo verde» («L'abric verd») is the young adult novel by María Gripe, published by Cruilla in hardback (179 pages, in Catalan).
Fredrika's mother buys her a green coat just like Madeleine Strand's, hoping her daughter will look more like her. But Britt, an insecure classmate, turns up wearing the same garment to imitate her. What at first makes Fredrika uncomfortable becomes an unexpected friendship, in a story about identity, self-esteem and belonging.
María Gripe published this work in 1974; this Catalan edition appeared in 1985 in the Gran Angular collection (No. 3).
For young readers interested in stories about friendship, identity and social pressure in the school environment.
