Oscar winner Kate Winslet has signed a deal to create The Golden Hat, a concept book of self-portraits meant to raise awareness about autism, to be released by Simon & Schuster in November, according to published reports.


The book will be based on a poem called the “Golden Hat,” in which a hat enables an autistic child to communicate, written by Keli Ericsdottir, an autistic boy.

It will feature pictures of Meryl Streep, Javier Bardem, Ben Stiller, Jude Law, Ricky Gervais, Maria Sharapova, Christina Aguilera, Naomi Watts, Julianne Moore, and other celebrities wearing the “magical” hat.

Proceeds from the book’s profits will benefit Winslet’s autism charity, “The Golden Hat Foundation.”

Winslet won the Academy Award for The Reader and is starring in the new HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce, which debuts on March 27.
