The Hat Full of Secrets
Henry's got a secret that's too big to share. Grandad suggests he keeps it under his hat, but the hat he lends Henry is still full of Grandad's own secrets, which fly off around the town. As Henry and Grandad track them down, they discover some secrets are best when they are shared.
This is a wonderful story which my daughter loved. She kept guessing what each secret might be, based on the short, luggage label and we loved all of the little hints in the illustrations as to what Henry's secret might be.
Wazza Pink's artwork is really special. It's full of bright colours and tiny details, and brings Henry and Grandad's secrets vividly to life. Henry is particularly adorable in his oversized Jones hat! I will definitely be on the look out for more of her artwork in the future.
The blurb describes this story as "timeless" and I can definitely see it being read in our house for many years to come. It is a story which celebrates family and family history, shared memories and secrets.
