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.
