Klassen’s This Is Not My Hat is a sly, darkly funny masterclass in visual storytelling. A tiny fish steals a hat from a very big fish — and then spends the rest of the book insisting everything will be fine. With deadpan narration and expressive, minimalist art, Klassen turns a simple chase into a perfectly crafted morality tale where the pictures tell the truth the narrator won’t. Kids howl, adults smirk, and everyone learns something about consequences (the gentle, sneaky kind).
