All the grown-ups in Ivan’s village wear a hat that shows what they love most. Because Ivan’s father is the hatmaker, Ivan gets to watch his father create a hat that is perfect for each person. Ivan wonders what kind of hat he will have. Will he be a musician? A baker? A palace guard?
Ivan doesn’t need to worry about his future because his father, the hatmaker who loves him most, shows him that there is only one hat–and one life–created just for him. Recommended for ages 4 to 8.
