By the Sea, You MUST Wear a Hat. Otherwise, you might get a sunburned nose. That’s what Dad says. So Hunter sets off to find the perfect hat, and he really does find the hat of all hats, complete with a red checkered bow and a wide brim.

But a summer day by the sea is full of hazards: scooters whizzing past, splashes of paint, and boats bobbing on the waves. Time and again, the hat gets “completely ruined.”

Or does it?

With Grandma’s imagination, every stain, hole, and wrinkle turns into something even better than a beautiful hat: a hippopotamus hat! A hat with air vents! A foldable hat!

In her picture-book debut, Jenny Jägerfeld writes about how things don’t always turn out the way we expect but can still end up just fine in the end. With warm pastel colours and a generous dose of humour, Sofia Falkenhem portrays the transformation of Hunter’s marvellous hat.

Hunter’s Hat is a fun, lively story, perfect for reading aloud.
