The prim little town of Littleton is in a tizzy preparing for a visit from the Queen. So when Miss Hunnicutt steps out in her fancifully fowl-ish new hat from Paris, the stuffy townsfolk are scandalized - it has a chicken on it! The chicken has to go! But plucky Miss Hunnicutt stands up for her right to wear what she likes. And when the Queen's arrival prompts a surprising turn of events, the townspeople learn to celebrate the silly eccentricities that make life interesting! With insight and humour, this delightful tale by the creators of 'The Quiltmaker's Gift' playfully illustrates the value of tolerance and the rewards of simply being yourself.
