Delightful Story with a Lesson or Two

Miss Hunnicutt is only a little quirky, but she sticks by her guns! Good for her! If you enjoy this story, check out The Big Orange Splot by Pinkwater. And, please, please teach your children that it is OK to be different!!

Delightful!

This book is a whimsically sweet story with some of the most beautiful illustrations that I have ever seen in a children's book! Kudos to both the author & the illustrator.

Fabulous

Wonderful illustrations accompany this lovely tale of a woman not afraid to stand up for her very different ideas. The illustrations alone are worth the book price. The empowering story makes it a fabulous addition to any child's library.

Hats Off to Miss Hunnicutt's Hat

When I learned that Jeff Brumbeau (author) and Gail deMarken (illustrator) of The Quiltmaker's Gift had collaborated once again on a children's book, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I knew it would be a story with a wonderful moral and that the illustrations would be beautiful. I was not disappointed in the least.Miss Hunnicutt's Hat tells a story for children of all ages about accepting people the way they are no matter what little idiosyncrasies they may have. What is considered "right" by the group is not always "right" for the rest of us. It teaches that, like Miss Hunnicutt, everyone should be true to herself, because you just never know when your ideas and dreams can grow to become the dreams of mankind. It shows that tolerance is a trait that should be taught early and often!
