This is the true story of a lady who had an awakening about how they were using feathers as fashion and she changed her ways and got all her friends to change their ways....even Queen Elizabeth!
My class wasn't totally enamored with this story. There was a lot of play on words that they didn't catch on to. If I read it again, I'd take the time to talk about those things so they can catch the double-meanings.
Goodreads says:
This picture book tells the story of Harriet Hemenway's boycott of fashionable feathered hats, which saved millions of birds and led to the founding of the Audubon Society.
