I don’t think that kind of book appeals to all readers, but it makes for a very special, contemplative reading experience. It’s just a little girl and her umbrella. The book moves fairly slowly and doesn’t have a big adventure. But the narrator shares the significance: it was the first time she walked on her own without holding a parent’s hand. A small memory that grown up Momo doesn’t even remember. This means, though she doesn’t realize the significance, that she cannot hold her father’s hand when walking to and from school. The first day she is able to use the umbrella she focuses very hard on walking carefully like a grown up lady and on not dropping the umbrella. When Momo recieves a new umbrella and rain boots she is so excited.
All she needs now is a rainy day! Soft illustrations portray a thoughtful story about patience and growing independence.Īt it’s heart Umbrella is a story about independence. Umbrella written and illustrated by Taro Yashimaįrom Goodreads: Momo can’t wait to use the red boots and umbrella she received on her birthday.
