Tiara's mother Tracy Rose makes the most wonderful hats - but her millinery is forced out of business when a new, cheaper store opens up nearby, and she goes back to work teaching art. Tiara sees that Momma's hats brought happiness to everyone - maker and wearers alike - and figures out a way to bring Tracy Rose Millinery back by making hats in art class and having a hat parade.

Back matter includes an author's note and mini-biographies of three famous Black milliners. The endpapers are flat-out gorgeous illustrations of all kinds of unique hats. ( )
