Umbrella

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.
