Hats and Other Headware From All Over the World

This masterfully illustrated picture book is also a non-fiction and an unique cultural history of hats. Using hats as examples, it shows how diverse our world is. Because not only are hats and head coverings attractive and eye-catching, but they can also achieve the exact opposite by making their wearers invisible, in a sense, protecting them from stares.

The book’s subject is vibrantly portrayed: One hat is presented across from the next in single-page layouts, followed by double-paged, and so alternate throughout. Numerous detailed close-ups help the focus and flow. Hats off!
