Jennie’s Hat by Ezra Jack Keats
From Amazon: Jennie’s favorite aunt is sending her a new hat, and Jennie is sure it will be beautiful. But when the box arrives, the hat inside is very plain. She had imagined a wonderful hat with big colorful flowers and even tries to make her own hat from a straw basket! Jennie is almost ready to give up on her dream when she receives a fanciful surprise from some very special friends. Ezra Jack Keats’s timelessly charming illustrations will leave readers wishing for a dream hat of their own.
I was not familiar with this book before I started looking for titles to add to this post but after checking this out, love the themes this books inspires: how to deal with disappointment, being thankful for something, creating art.
This title is being added to ideas for library programming. Children could investigate and explore collage.
This is the perfect book for you and your yarn.
