Kelly Starling-Lyons wrote a tribute to Vanilla Beane and other famous milliners in her book, Tiara's Hat Parade, illustrated by Nicole Tadgell.

The book can be purchased here on Amazon.

"Tiara has a gift for storytelling; her momma has a gift for making hats. When a new store opens that sells cheaper hats, Momma has to set her dreams aside, but Tiara has an idea for helping Momma's dreams come true again."

Mae Reaves also received mention in Starling-Lyons' book. Here is she is with Beane's granddaughter, Jeni Hansen, in 2016.
