Description
A tender and insightful read-aloud picture book about anxiety: showing children aged 3-7 years old that they do not have to carry their worries alone – there’s always room under your umbrella for someone else.
Tallulah doesn’t like the rain. It spoils her new dress. It makes her favourite biscuits soggy. It ruins everything. So she gets an umbrella from Grandma. For a while, she feels better… But is one umbrella enough?
Tallulah worries about rain thundering down and washing her away. She decides that she needs complete protection. So she gets another TOTALLY BIG umbrella, and under her umbrella house, Tallulah feels safe.
But … is Tallulah missing out on all the fun happening around her? How can she manage her fears and still be in the world?
Perfect for any young reader who may be feeling insecure – the book will inspire confidence and show them the value in branching out of the familiar.
