This book is a poetry book that talks about a woman's hat that is lost during the Holocaust. It shows how sad the experience was and gives the reader a first hand look at what it would be like going through the experience. The illustrations combine real pictures with drawings and are excellent. ( )

This thought provoking book got me thinking about who wore the beautiful hat?? What she lived like? etc.... Its great for introducing inquiry ideas and study. Easily ties into studies of war, surviving, dying, heritage, etc..... I would use it for grades 5+ because of the deep thinking that this book springs into. ( )

Offers a reflection on a woman's hat that was on display in the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam that questions who the woman might have been, what her life may have been like, and how she may have ended up
a Holocaust victim. ( )
