Kiki’s Hats: A Book for Kids About Giving

by Sandra Williams

kiki’s hatsWarren Hanson wrote and illustrated the new book “Kiki’s Hats“. It’s a story about a spunky older woman who knits hats and gives them away.

Apparently there is a real Kiki who gives away hats. It’s all about giving and how that doesn’t have to be complicated, huge or expensive. Simply raking someone’s yard, smiling or visiting a sick friend or relative are all ways we can give in small ways.

You can check out other people’s touching stories on how they decided to give to others on Kiki’s Hats website or submit and share your own story.

What I love about ‘Kiki’s Hats’ is this is a real-life story,” said Hanson. “The real Kiki is a kind, generous woman who exemplifies what it means to share her gifts with others. Not only is she sharing her hats, but she gives a gift that will live on in each child that reads the book: the understanding that miracles can happen when we give of ourselves.(Minneapolis, Dec. 17, PR)
