The Green Umbrella by Jackie Azúa Kramer, Maral Sassouni
5.0
Sometimes I can tell that I will love a picture book from its cover. This is one of those books.
An Elephant is taking a walk when he comes across some other characters claiming that his umbrella is not simply an umbrella--it is a boat, a tend, a flying machine, a sword, a cane. Elephant shares his umbrella, and the friends he meets on the way share their own gifts in return.
The illustrations are adorable. The art style shows a lot of personality in each character. I particularly loved the scenes of the rain and the storm, but the images of the characters' stories are also so full of life and showcase the story and personality of the character.
The message of sharing and friendship is done in a sweet way, and even grown up readers will find themselves engaged in this story because of the beautiful illustrations.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
