The park would be perfect, but Clara has no one to play with. Then she picks up what appears to be an ordinary, old umbrella and places it gently on a bench…

And sets off a magical chain of events featuring a new friend, an elephant, musical butterflies, and a naughty fox who learns his lesson. Guatemalan-born author and illustrator Elena Arevala Melville’s artwork in this quirky piece of magical realism is packed with humor and character, drawing young children, and their adults, into a world where kindness and forgiveness go hand-in-hand. A world where anything is possible.
