Zara loves to help her father, Selig, design hats for his shop. They use only the best fabrics, the prettiest ribbons, and the most beautiful feathers. But when they run out of feathers, Selig doesn't know what to do. As he travels far and wide in search of more, Zara puts her imagination to work-and shows everyone just how far a little creativity can go. Inspired by his own great-grandfather, who ran a hat shop in the early 1900s, Paul Meisel has created a heartwarming story about a loving family that is perfect for Father's Day-or any day of the year.
