Ninety-nine year old Miss Fannie has lots of hats, and she loves them all. But her favorite is the pink straw hat with the silk roses. That’s the one Miss Fannie has worn on Easter Sunday for the past thirty-five years. When Miss Fannie’s preacher asks her to donate one of her precious hats to the church auction, choosing which one to part with is no small task. This heartwarming story about the rewards of unselfish love will enchant readers young and old.
The star of Miss Fannie’s Hat is based on Jan Karon‘s own grandmother. “My grandmother, Miss Fannie, was so wonderful I wanted to share her with everyone,” says Jan Karon. “I wrote Miss Fannie’s Hat to give both children and adults a sense of family, to give them the grandmother or great-grandmother they never had, or always wished they had. Briefly, the story is about sacrifice–and the rewards that can come when we give with a willing heart.”
