Annotation: Grinelda loves creating and wearing hats, hats, and more hats. Because of Grinelda's idiosyncrasy, her classmates view her as odd and dub her the "Mad Hatter". One magical day, Grinelda's teacher assigns her to be costume maker for the class play Cinderella, and everyone begins to appreciate her special talent. Flamboyantly colourful illustrations complement the engaging text.
