Hats
I love a well-written children's book when I find one, especially when it inspires creative play long after we've read the story. So I'm recommending "Zara's Hats" by Paul Meisel, especially for preschool-aged girls. It's a sweet story about a little girl who helps her father bring his once-thriving hat business back from the brink of its demise. I love that the little girl is the heroine of this story without having to use any super-human powers--just her brain and a little creativity.

I'm lovein' the hat! We also adore well written stories around here! We just finished reading "benjamin west and his cat grimalkin" We loved it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hat on a beautiful little girl. I did notice the purple underbrim. And cute dress with center pocket. And sweet little brother poking around not missing out on anything.
ReplyDeleteThat's one cute hat!
