Millie's Marvellous Hat
Satoshi Kitamura
Publ: Andersen Press
The strength of this impressive book, with its nice twist on the Emperor's New Clothes story lies in the way that the illustrator visualises the little girl's imagination in Kandinsky-esque explosions of colour. The hats are fabulous and the peacock breathtaking. A joyful and uplifting picture book. -- Judges' Comments, CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal SHORTLIST 2010
