Unwrapping Some Illustrations 

The Book

 

I love this heartwarming book.  It's a lovely gesture by Zebra who is the custodian of a colourful umbrella.  During a substantial downpour he opens up his umbrella and his heart and invites Gazelle, Rhinoserous, Elephant, and Hare, with her three sweet daughters, to join him as he sequesters himself from the storm.  But wait...  lion appears and stands outside dripping wet looking in.   Zebra's empathetic heart opens up and invites him to join the group on the condition that he doesn't bite anyone.  

Sandwiched under the umbrella the diverse and happy crowd enjoy stories, riddles, games and songs together sheltered from the cloudburst.  

After the soaker subsides and everyone thanks Zebra for his hospitality Lion posses a question to the host.  

"Zebra, why is your umbrella so colourful?"  

I wonder what Zebra's response will be.  Can you guess?  The illustrations are colourful, bright and expressive. All the animals portrayed are adorable.  The story highlights friendship, acceptance, kindness and sharing.  I highly recommend it.
