About the book: Mac has a hat for every mood in this infectiously positive book by the author and illustrator team behind Molly’s Tuxedo!
There’s a thing
that makes my heart go zing.
Hats.
Mac loves to wear hats. She has one for every occasion, and they help her feel joyful, confident, and adventurous. Not everyone understands her style, but kind words from strangers encourage Mac to be herself.
