About this ebook

All author proceeds from this book go directly to the Golden Hat Foundation. With your help, we can change the world for people with autism.

“I simply couldn’t conceive of how devastating it would be not to be able to hear my children’s voices. Not to be able to communicate with them, to hear them learn, grow, and express themselves verbally. How fortunate, how blessed I am. This overwhelmed me. I can talk to my children, I can respond to their needs and comfort them when they tell me they are unwell. I can tell them stories and hear them tell theirs.”
Kate Winslet
Imagine what it would be like not to be able to communicate with those we love. For many individuals living with nonverbal autism and their families, this is their everyday reality. The Golden Hat is an intimate response to this reality created by Kate Winslet, Margret Ericsdottir, and her son Keli, who has nonverbal autism.
Kate and Margret’s stories, their personal email correspondence, and Keli’s poetry give us a profound insight into the world of those living with autism. Kate has shared this story with some of the world’s most famous people, posing the question: “What is important to you to express?” Their responses are a collection of intimate self-portraits and unique quotes. Among them are:
Christina Aguilera
Zac Efron
Julianne Moore
Maria Sharapova
Kobe Bryant
James Franco
Rosie O’Donnell
Ben Stiller
Michael Caine
Ricky Gervais
Michael Phelps
Meryl Streep
Kim Cattrall
Tom Hanks
John C. Reilly
Justin Timberlake
George Clooney
Elton John
Tim Robbins
Naomi Watts
Leonardo DiCaprio
Jude Law
Kristin Scott Thomas
Oprah Winfrey
Put together by Kate, Margret, and the dedicated team who work daily on the Golden Hat Foundation, this project has been a labor of love.
All the author proceeds from this groundbreaking book will benefit the Golden Hat Foundation, founded by Kate Winslet and Margret Ericsdottir to build innovative living campuses for people with autism and raise public awareness of their intellectual capabilities.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Collection of selfies of famous people wearing a hat. More importantly, the story of a boy living with autism who finds a way to communicate with the world.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked the idea that she was using the money from this book to help kids with Autism. And I loved reading how they put the whole thing together. The pictures were good too, but the quotes to me made no sense. I would have thought they would have said something to give kids with Autism hope and encouragement. I didn't understand half of the quotes in this book.
