About the event
There's a thing that makes my heart go zing.
Hats.
Mac loves to wear hats.
She has one for every occasion, and they help her feel joyful, confident, and adventurous. Not everyone understands her style, but kind words from strangers encourage Mac to be herself. This inclusive book celebrates kindness and positivity, and that what makes you different, makes you special!
