A beautiful, compassionate, tender look at cherished mementos and the memories they hold for us. Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite




A wildly windy day...a hat that gets away!

Lenny would do anything for his best friend Nora. Unfortunately, he's just broken her heart. He's not sure why her hat is so important to her, only that it is, and he accidentally lost it in the wind. Now a river rat has found a surprising use for the fedora, and she refuses to part with it. She's one stubborn negotiator and, somehow, Lenny must find a way to convince her to give back Nora's cherished hat and make things right.

A gorgeously illustrated, funny, sentimental adventure that children will want to read again and again.

At a time when so many of us are forced to be apart from family and friends, The Green Woolen Fedora explores cherished mementos and how they keep those we love close, even when we can't be together. Perfect for girls and boys ages 4 and up, this story will resonate especially with children who have lost or are separated from a loved one.
