Out now: VERY GOOD HATS

The first picture book by bestselling novelist Emma Straub, this joyous and inventive read-aloud will inspire kids to see ordinary objects in a whole new way.

Some people think hats are fancy things you can buy at a dressy store, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In this book, acorns and raspberries are snug hats for your fingers, and an empty pudding cup is a good hat for a stuffed bear. Pajama pants make dangly hats, books can be dramatic hats, and bubbles make very fine hats as well (if temporary). Readers will be delighted to discover that anything can be a hat if you believe it is. Hats are everywhere you look!

“There is no higher art form than the picture book, and therefore, this is the most thrilling publication of my career.…I can’t wait to have Very Good Hats tossed in the bottom of a stroller, tucked into bed, and cuddled up with kids and parents reading together.” — Emma Straub
