THE BLue umbrella
Written by Emily Ann Davison, illustrated by Momoko Abe. Published by Andersen Press in February 2023.
“A warm message, lightly told and beautifully illustrated.”
The most magical things can happen even on the rainiest of days...
How many people can you fit under one umbrella? It wasn't even meant to rain the day the blue umbrella turned up, but for the people who used it that day, they found something more than just shelter: something truly amazing had happened.
A community had come together, bound by kindness and friendship.
“An accessible approach to inclusion, sharing, and community building.”
