Kate Winslet to raise autism awareness in new book
(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet is shining a light on autism by publishing a book.
Winslet's book, titled "The Golden Hat," will come out in November, Simon & Schuster announced Thursday.
It's inspired by a poem, of the same name, in which a hat enables an autistic child to communicate. The poem was written by an autistic child, who is also the son of Winslet's friend.
The book will feature pictures of Meryl Streep, Javier Bardem and other celebrities wearing the "magical" hat.
Simon & Schuster and CBS are owned by the same parent company.
