Product Description
Review
The strength of this impressive book, with its nice twist on the Emperor's New Clothes story lies in the way that the illustrator visualises the little girl's imagination in Kandinsky-esque explosions of colour. The hats are fabulous and the peacock breathtaking. A joyful and uplifting picture book. -- Judges' Comments, CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal SHORTLIST 2010
This gloriously imaginative story is all about the power of believing. [ . . . ] As she goes along, Millie thinks of all the amazing things her hat could look like and so ends up with the most fantastic creation imaginable. Satoshi Kitamura's illustrations are a treat. -- Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4kids
'The name Satoshi Kitamura is now synonymous with expectations of an unusual treat and Millie's Marvellous Hat is just that.' --The School Librarian
'Few artists are able to bring the creative force of imagination to life with such verve and vim as Satoshi Kitamura. Vibrant, colourful and pleasingly stylised, this is a wonderful life-affirming story told in an unsentimental style. Gently comedic, its overarching message regarding internal riches lends the book a fairytale feel.' --The Bookseller
'This book takes you on a sunny walk through streets, parks and interiors, and leads you to emphathise, to learn that you might affect other people's moods and to appreciate individuality.' --The Sunday Times
'Gorgeous, mind-stretching picture book.' --Independent on Sunday - Hitlist
'Kitamura's distinctive illustrations, with their use of crooked lines and quirky angular perspectives are, as always, fascinating and compelling.' --Books for Keeps
'A picture book celebrating childhood imagination.' --Irish Times
'This riotous imaginative story is all about the power of believing. Satoshi Kitamura's illustrations are a treat.' --Guardian

Bought this for my 2 yr old called Millie and she loves it! We've read it most nights since Christmas, and she also enjoys looking at the pictures on her own.

Love, love, love this book. My daughter is 2 and has a very short attention span. She knows within about 2 seconds what books she likes and which she doesn't. She adored this book immediately. I have to confess this slightly surprised me as there's nothing immediately 'grabbing' about it - but the gentle story, quirky detail and absorbing pictures repay endless re-readings. We spend ages on the peacock page and the park page, comparing the various hats, and find something new each time. What could be a slightly clunky theme is delicately and cleverly embroidered, and we talk about Millie's rabbit hat at bedtime. Thoroughly recommended.
