The first picture book by bestselling novelist Emma Straub, this joyous and inventive read-aloud will inspire kids to see ordinary objects in a whole new way. Some people think hats are fancy things you can buy at a dressy store, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In this book, acorns and raspberries are snug hats for your fingers, and an empty pudding cup is a good hat for a stuffed bear. Pajama pants make dangly hats, books can be dramatic hats, and bubbles make very fine hats as well (if temporary). Readers will be delighted to discover that anything can be a hat if you believe it is. Hats are everywhere you look!

Was würdest du tun, wenn du alles in deinem Leben noch einmal neu entscheiden könntest? Morgen wird sie 40, und eigentlich ist Alice mit ihrem Leben recht zufrieden. Sie mag ihren Job, auch wenn es nicht ganz der ist, von dem sie geträumt hat, sie mag ihr kuschliges Apartment, sie kann seit Kindertagen auf ihre wunderbare beste Freundin zählen ... selbst ihr Beziehungsstatus ist ganz okay. Doch ihr Vater Leonard ist todkrank, und Alice fragt sich, ob das wirklich schon alles für sein Leben gewesen sein soll. Als Alice am nächsten Morgen aufwacht, ist plötzlich alles anders. Es ist 1996, und Alice ist nicht etwa 40, sondern 16. Sie hat eine Menge zu verarbeiten, aber der größte Schock von allen ist ihr Dad: so lebenslustig, jung und charmant hat sie ihn noch nie erlebt. Ist ihre unverhoffte Reise in die Vergangenheit etwa die Chance, seine und ihre Zukunft völlig auf den Kopf zu stellen? Nur wie entscheidet sie dann, was für sie beide wirklich zählt? Typisch Emma Straub: Geschickt verbindet sie 90er-Jahre-Nostalgie mit berührenden Momenten zwischen Vater und Tochter. Perfekte Lektüre für die kluge Frau!

When she wakes up the next morning she finds herself back in 1996, reliving her 16th birthday.

Now armed with a new perspective on her own life and his, some past events take on new meaning. Is there anything that she would change if she could?

Winner of a Foreword IndieFab Book of the Year AwardIn 1967, Joan Didion wrote an essay called Goodbye to All That , a work of such candid and penetrating prose that it soon became the gold standard for personal essays. Like no other story before it, Didion’s tale of loving and leaving New York captured the mesmerizing allure Manhattan has always had for writers, poets, and wandering spirits.In this captivating collection, 28 writers take up Didion’s literary legacy by sharing their own New York stories. Their essays often begin as love stories do, with the passion of something newly discovered—the crush of subway crowds, the streets filled with manic energy, and the certainty that this is the only place on Earth where one can become exactly who she is meant to be.They also share the grief that comes when the metropolis loses its magic and the pressures of New York’s frenetic life wear thin on even the most fervent dwellers. As friends move away, rents soar, and love—still— remains just out of reach, each writer’s goodbye to New York is singular and universal, like New York itself.With Cheryl Strayed, Dani Shapiro, Emma Straub, Ann Hood, and more.
