Books from the Past

Casey's New Hat (1997)
A good hat is a necessity on a ranch, and Casey’s old hat is beginning to feel tight. As Casey accompanies Dad on of buying supplies and doing ranch chores she examines the hats that various people offer her. But nothing feels right—until she takes a look around for herself and finds the perfect hat. Warm pencil drawings complement this story about a sprightly young ranch hand taking a first step toward growing up and defining herself.
