Description
Getting caught in the rain at the park leads a little girl to discover a remarkable umbrella and, with it, the magic of friendship and community in this charming picture book inspired by Jan Brett's classic The Mitten. Zora's fun day in the park is interrupted by a sudden rain shower, and she finds just the thing she needs to stay dry: an umbrella big enough for one. When another child on the playground asks if he can join her, and then another and another still, Zora makes room for them all--and the umbrella does too! But suddenly, a gust of wind blows the umbrella away, and Zora and her new friends must work together to find it, a search that helps them discover the true value of friendship and collaboration.
