by Audrey Perrott (Author) Druscilla Santiago (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

An uplifting picture book debut about community and hope.

One windy day, House's hat blows clean off his head!

His friends are happy to help, but nothing they try seems quite right. Then the wind gets even stronger and thunder rumbles, making House wonder how he can keep his family safe and if he'll ever feel quite like himself again.

But just in time, more neighbors come to pitch in. And they have a plan for a new hat that fits him perfectly.

Sweetly illustrated and studded with humor, this tale of community is perfect for reminding readers that during tough times, neighbors can work together to help each other.

House's roof is blown off in a storm, but help arrives in many forms. . . Centering a house instead of a human as the main character provides a bit of distance and humor to a potentially scary topic . . . Hats off!
