The Green Umbrella

32 pp. | North-South | January, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7358-4218-2 $17.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Maral Sassouni. An elephant with an umbrella is confronted by a hedgehog: "You have my boat"; a lyrical spread shows the hedgehog in an inverted umbrella floating on the ocean. After the elephant shelters the hedgehog, they meet several more animals each claiming the umbrella ("You have my tent," etc.). It's an old-fashioned friendship tale with charming art and a ripe message about sharing the wealth.
