Umbrella

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 3

Clara finds an umbrella on the ground at the park and does a good deed by putting it on a bench. The umbrella says “thank you” and invites Clara to make a wish.

So unfolds a magical chain of events featuring a new friend, an elephant, musical butterflies, and a naughty fox who learns his lesson. The artwork in this quirky piece of magical realism is packed with humor and character, and the surprising ending is both heart-warming and uplifting.
