A simple story, beautifully told. I love how the only face that is shown in the illustrations until the last page is the ever-present, ever-growing, red umbrella. The bodies of the human characters are expressive and diverse in race and ability. When the humans are finally scene, diverse couples and family groups also appear. There is truly room for everyone under this umbrella and in our world.
