Which is exciting. And brave. And a little bit enormous. Hat wants to come. But this is a school adventure Ruby has to do on her own. So Ruby heads off with a wobbly tummy and a big deep breath and at school she meets someone very special: Mrs Hat — the Learning Hat . Mrs Hat helps Ruby learn something very important: how to write her name. Not perfectly. But bravely. When Ruby gets home, she can’t wait to tell Hat everything — about her first day and the Learning Hat who helped her find her brave. This is a warm, funny, heart-full story about first days, growing up, and discovering you can do big things even when the people you love can’t come with you. Perfect for little people starting school and the big people holding their hands. For more Ruby and Hat adventures, visit hatbusiness.com.au or find us on YouTube. Love Ruby and Hat?
