About this listen
What if the world’s most beloved children’s author was quietly teaching millions of kids to question everything? Behind the Hat isn’t a takedown. It’s a deep dive. Into the life, legacy, and low-key rebellion of Dr. Seuss — a man who went from drawing war propaganda to writing bedtime stories about revolution, empathy, and resistance. From Horton to Yertle, Sneetches to the Cat, this book explores the hidden messages, strange contradictions, and unexpected fire hiding in the stripes. If you grew up on Seuss, this might rewire how you see him. If you didn’t — buckle in. There’s a lot more behind the hat than you think.
