Winner at the 2015 International Latino Book Awards. A magical hat shop arrives in town. However, all the customers who enter leave somehow changed... Do you dare to discover the mystery?

One day, a hat shop mysteriously appears in the main square of a little town. The townspeople are surprised by this new arrival. No one knows where it came from or why it appeared right there, in the middle of the town square. "Who needs a hat?", some wondered. Confusion and mistrust begin to reign in town, but Timid Tim, determined to reveal the mystery that the hat shop was hiding, decides to enter and reveal what is it that the shop offers. But then something happens that nobody expects: the first customers put on their hats, and make an amazing discovery.

A delightful tale about magic hats and bonnets, but above all about the importance of being yourself and the hidden treasures we carry within us.

      Hats magically transform each person in town, giving them precisely what they need to become their best selves.When the squat, little hat shop initially appears, everyone eyes it suspiciously. Where did it come from? Why is it there? The first customer to creep into the store is Timid Tim, a very shy fellow. He emerges wearing a hat that seems to flip an internal switch. Suddenly, he exudes confidence and joyfully greets everyone in the square. Sad Sally comes out of the shop with a hat that bursts into butterflies, spreading smiles and cheer. The mayor, a puffed-up, ostentatious sort, is given the tiniest hat imaginable and loves it. Townsfolk (all of them white) parade around with illuminated birdcages, sparkly flowers, and fluffs of cloud on their heads--until a windstorm sweeps away not only their hats, but also the magical hat seller. Timid Tim is again the first to pluck up his courage and realize character comes from within, not from a hat. The true magic of this tale, however, is not in the lesson but in Wimmer's luminous illustrations. Thin, swooping mustaches and fancy frocks adorn stretched, doughy figures, all with ruddy noses and cheeks. The dreamy, muted palette pops with rose and teal accents. A sweet import that inspires inner strength. (Picture book. 4-7)
