"In a nod to art's twin powers of subversion and of transformation, a very small painter makes a hardhearted king cry--and then smile." -- Kirkus Reviews When a bad-tempered King punishes a little artist, he meets his match. For Daphne, the artist, turns her punishment, a dunce cap, into a fashionable and regal hat. Now every villager wants to wear one of Daphne's creations. How could she have known that her hat-making would undermine the King's authority? Then again, maybe Daphne's caring, creative spirit is just what the kingdom--and the King--has needed all along.
