Fritzy's mum has cancer, which is pretty scary. But Fritzy is on a mission to find his mother the perfect hat she can wear to her treatments. He knows she may lose her hair so he imagines extravagantly practical and whimsical hat options for his mother, such as a hat with pillows attached for when she is tired. The colourful illustrations, brief text, and humorous ideas combine to gently help children adjust to the realities of cancer treatment as faced by an adult in their lives. Audience: Child 4 - 7
