My Red Hat Keeps Me On the Ground
Description
This is possibly a true and possibly a note-true story of a young boy with a younger brother who worshipped him. The older brother was given what seemed to be a magical Red Hat, which in many ways is the essence of this story. Was the hat magical. Can it be that the things the Red Hat could no are explainable in the natural world. You make the call.
This story is written as if it is true but only parts are true. The other parts may also be tru if you believe in magic. This book takes the young reader along with the older reader on a journey that is orchestrated by a magical Red Hat that has as much good Karma as the best of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Taoism.
Even if you do not believe in Karma, you will love this story. It;s like as if Santa is running around disguised as a Red Hat, whose mission it is to help every child be a better child and a good swimmer to boot.
Not all stories-even stories including Karma and Santa end well. This incredible story will not disappoint any reader once you learn about this wonderful family and their wonderful neighbor and a Red Hat that if given the chance would be willing to save the entire planet. You will find that the ending is outstanding.
Even if you do not believe that this story might be true, it still makes a great story for any time of the year, including Christmas and Easter and The Fourth of July, or even a special birthday. Since for some, it may seem true, and that makes it even more special--especially for me. My family is highlighted in this fine, uplifting story. Thank you for reading it. Enjoy! Have a great and magical day. Try to keep your two feet on the ground!
