This is NOT a Cowboy Hat
A funny picture book about arguing, perspective, and what things really are.This is NOT a cowboy hat.
Yes it is.
So... what is it?That's where the argument starts.
Brain made a hat.
He says it's a cowboy hat.
Crutch says it's not.
And now... they're having a VERY IMPORTANT argument.
But this isn't really about hats.
It's about something every kid (and grown-up) knows well:
What happens when two people are using different rules - and don't realize it?
Perfect for:
- Families who want fewer YES IT IS! / NO IT'S NOT! moments
- Social emotional learning (SEL) lessons
- Classroom read-alouds and discussion
- Kids who argue (so... all of them)
- Teaching perspective-taking and flexible thinking
Through humor, expressive characters, and simple, kid-friendly explanations, this story explores:
- How disagreements start
- Why arguments get loud
- How people decide what something is
- And how to pause and see things another way
Includes a short SEL reflection section and discussion prompts, making this a powerful classroom and counseling tool.
If your child loves:
- Silly debates
- Big feelings
- Ridiculous confidence
- And thinking deeply without realizing it
This book will feel like it was written just for them.
Funny. Smart. Surprisingly thoughtful.
Because sometimes the biggest arguments aren't about the thing at all.
And sometimes... a paper hat can teach us a lot.
