About This Book

Harbet treasures the cozy hat his Nana made, but everyone teases him for wearing an old-fashioned cap. Trying to stay trendy, he swaps hats again and again, only to find each new style quickly goes out of fashion. When Harbet chooses to embrace his own unique style, he realizes that being yourself is the best trend of all.
