Hat

by Renée Paule, G R Hewitt

Overview

Bertie the gardener is happy with his life, so is Oscar - his dog. However, this happiness turns to discontent when Bertie sees George looking ‘important’ in his new bowler hat. Bertie wants one just like it, so that he can look important too. Consequently, he hangs up his comfy old hat and that’s when his adventure begins.

There's a fun activity page at the back of this book so that children can learn more about different types of hats and their names.

About the Author

Many years ago I wrote my autobiography - probably more as therapy than anything else; but life continued happening to me and I got to thinking: what good will this story do, isn’t there enough misery in the world without me adding to it by writing more? I subsequently burnt it. It was around this time when I began searching for meaning in my life that I had a profound experience - a realisation that we’re all connected, we’re One. I began to question everything I knew, accepting nothing at face value, writing down these questions and the thoughts surrounding them. From this, my first book On The Other Hand - The Little Anthology of Big Questions was born. In my books I take an honest look at our quirky and often bizarre behaviour in society, challenging the status-quo we accept as unchangeable; questioning and pushing the boundaries we set ourselves - and those that have been set for us. I’m convinced that if we want to change our lives and change our world then we must first change ourselves - to take responsibility for the things we do and in doing so, take back the power that - in general - we don’t realise we’ve given away. In my writings I give no answers to life’s questions - we already have them and only need find the courage to recognise them, accept them and then act. I invite you to join me on my journey, questioning the society we call ours and the role we play within it. All but my first book 'On The Other Hand' are illustrated and the blurb for each of them is an accurate description of what to expect inside.

I was born in England and have lived and worked in France and Ireland for the last few years; now resident in Ireland. My interests are many and varied and in particular old valve radios, machinery and design from the 1930’s, for which I have a strange nostalgia, though I was never there. I trained as a printer (compositor) with a flair for typography and graphic design and was able to use these skills in other varied employment after leaving the printing industry. Though I have written manuals, pamphlets, posters, adverts and other paraphernalia, I have never written a book. Until now.
