Max Lucado's books for readers of all ages have made him one of the most popular writers of books for a Christian readership. Engagingly illustrated by David Wenzel, Lucado's A Hat For Ivan is an original picturebook story that wonderfully captures a very special truth -- everyone was made by God for a special purpose. This is the story of the hatmaker's son, who sees his father create the perfect hat for each person. But when Ivan is worried about his future, he tries on all sorts of hats - musician, baker, firefighter - and none of them seem to fit! The feel heavy and ridiculous, and make him feel tired. At the end of the day, his father offers him some choice words of wisdom; there will be a hat - and a life - meant just for him, based on what he most likes to do. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this whimsical book about how hats sigfnify ones' lifes work as in every one wears a different one and Ivan didn't know what he wanted to be, trying on every hat that was given him,until his father, the hatmaker asked Ivan what he really liked to do. The hat, reflects the desire of the wearer.

This is a great book that says you are special and one of a kind. Great read for everyone.
