Joseph and His Colorful Coat
Joseph’s father gave him a special coat, and his brothers became jealous. They sold him as a slave to Egypt. Even in prison, God was with Joseph. God helped him explain Pharaoh’s dreams, and Joseph became a great leader who saved many people from famine — including the brothers who had hurt him. Joseph forgave them.
