Jennie’s Hat

Viking, 1966

Jennie’s aunt promised to buy her a new hat and Jennie can hardly wait for the package to arrive.“It will be big and beautiful and flowery,” she tells herself happily. But when the box is finally delivered, there is just a plain hat inside. Jennie is disappointed but tries hard to make the best of it. Sadly, nothing quite works…until a magical gesture of friendship makes her dream come true.
