"Like the lady herself, 
all her hats were refined--
brilliantly singular, 
one of a kind!

Each feather, each bauble, each bead, 
and each bow--painstakingly chosen by Madame Chapeau."

A tale of passion (and fashion) and adventure . . .

This is the tale of a lonely hat maker who matches customers to the perfect hat but lacks her own perfect match in life. Once a year, on her birthday, Madame Chapeau ventures out in her favorite bonnet to dinner. This time, a crow snatches her hat and flies away. Mon dieu! As she chases the crow through the streets of Paris, a baker, a policeman, a cowboy, and others offer her their own hats to wear. None of them are quite right, though, until one special little girl offers her a hat "knitted with love and [her] best birthday wish."

A delightful and very stylish story about love, community, and friendship, with some fancy hats thrown in for good measure.
