Louie with B at Friendly's

I’ve been thinking about Louie’s hat. I’ve been thinking about how Louie’s hat has been traveling all over the East Coast visiting family and friends.

I’ve been thinking about Louie’s hat, which is some sort of autobiography, and have even challenged him to take a traveling hat photo a day.

There’s also a picture in my head, a picture of a children’s book. A children’s book about a traveling hat. Or a picture book that seems to be about a traveling hat, but is actually about Louie’s life. Perhaps for Faithie and Eli and his other grandchildren.

Consider this a half-blog entry. A seed idea.

For a future picture book.
