Ivan 住的地方是個帽城，也就是每個人頭上都會戴著代表自己身份的帽子，而他的爸爸正好就是製帽的師父！再過一個星期就輪到Ivan要選自己的帽子了，鎮上的每個人都給他不同的想法，廚師、音樂老師、消防員、、、很多人都送了他帽子，可是沒有一頂是適合他的！他最後會選擇什麼樣的帽子呢？這本書告訴我們，雖然我們因不想傷害別人而接受別人的好意，可是卻不用因此而屈服而改變自己真正的選擇，應該要選擇最適合自己的而不是別人認為最適合你的。相當有意思的一本書，適合6歲以上兒童閱讀。All the grown-ups in Ivan’s village wear a hat that shows what they love most. Because Ivan’s father is the hatmaker, Ivan gets to watch his father create a hat that is perfect for each person. Ivan wonders what kind of hat he will have. Will he be a musician? A baker? A palace guard?
Ivan doesn’t need to worry about his future because his father, the hatmaker who loves him most, shows him that there is only one hat—and one life—created just for him.
