Spirited Tiara never misses a moment to be her Momma’s go-to hat model. She twirls around the shop, telling stories and bringing joy to all of their customers. But when a new store opens in town, the family business is threatened. Momma feels pressed to set her dreams aside and find another job. Tiara has an idea though to turn things around. This touching story shows how one small gesture can impact an entire community and that kindness is always in fashion.
