The Hat That Wore Clara B.

by Melanie Turner-denstaedt

The Hat That Wore Clara B. Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

On Mothers Sunday at church, Clara B.s grandma has the most beautiful hat of all the ladies. When people compliment her on it, she says, “Honey, Im not wearing this hat. This hat is wearing me!” Clara B. likes to sit behind the hat in church and pretend it is wearing her. One day Clara B. decides that pretending isnt enough, and she waits for her chance at the hat. But when the right moment comes along and she finally gets her hands on it, things dont go exactly as shed planned . . .

Exuberant illustrations by Frank Morrison perfectly capture a colorful African American Baptist tradition - and the special relationship between a girl, her grandma, and a big, bold, beautiful hat.
