Det här är sagan om en vacker grön hatt med en fluffig fjäder och prickig sammetsrosett. En blåsig dag så tar vinden tag i hatten så den flyger iväg – åh NEJ! Och när hatten tillslut landar igen så är den sönderpickad av en kraxande kråka, tilltufsad av en kissande hund och alldeles blöt av glasskladd. Hatten känner sig helt plötsligt långt ifrån vacker och inte alls perfekt.

Den perfekta hatten är en lättsam och lekfull saga om hur det är insidan som räknas. En sammetsrosett, vackra paljetter och en fluffig fjäder kan vara härligt – men även utan så är ju en hatt – ändå en hatt.
