"The mind is like an umbrella. It's most useful when open." -Walter Gropius
In a dreary town where it always rains, a little girl and her dog discover an unexpected way to spread the light. Told with surprise and humor, here is a story of generosity, perseverance, and the way that happiness can be contagious—all it takes is one person and a bright idea.

"This celebration of patience and sharing will spread delight.”
“Wet, gray weather is no match for the bright spirit of a yellow umbrella–toting child in this buoyant picture book.”
-Kirkus
-Publishers Weekly

"Simple and superb - a must have for any collection."
-School Library Journal STARRED REVIEW
