The Purple Hat
Tracey Campbell Pearson
Hardcover
(Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), April 1, 1997)
"First there was Lilly's purple purse, and now there is Annie's purple hat. Annie spots the hat in a catalog, and when it arrives, it is perfect. But when she goes out bird-watching with the Bird Lady and the rest of her class, her hat is lost...[The] art captures both the poignancy of a favored possession getting lost and the humor of the hunt."-Booklist
