Un-brella


Written and illustrated by Scott E. Franson
2007  Roaring Brook Press  

Paper cutout illustrations create the little girl and her magic umbrella. On a snowy day the little girl emerges in a bathing suit, grabs her un-brella and heads outside. Upon opening the un-brella, the world changes from a snow day to a spring day full of sunshine, flowers, and green grass. On another day that is sunny and warm, the girl is dressed head to toe in snow gear and her un-brella opens to give her a world of winter where she can make snowmen. The closing of the story is a rainy day and the girl is prepared to open her un-brella. What will this day bring? A fantastic story to learn about seasons as well as encourage creativity.
