Casey's New Hat — Margot Apple

A good hat is a necessity on a ranch, and Casey's old hat is starting to feel tight. As Casey accompanies Dad on a day of buying supplies and doing ranch chores, she examines the hats that various people offer her. But nothing feels right - until she takes a good look around for herself and finds the perfect hat. Warm pencil illustrations perfectly complement this gentle story about a sprightly young ranch hand taking a first step toward growing up and defining herself.
