Latest Title: The Umbrella
The Umbrella
The Umbrella by Beth Ferry and Tom Lichtenheld

From the New York Times bestselling creators behind Stick and Stone comes an inspiring story of persistence, kindness, and curiosity—a perfect read-aloud, rain or shine.

In a dreary town where it always rains, a little girl and her dog discover an unexpected way to spread the light. Told with surprise and humor, here is a story of generosity, perseverance, and the way that happiness can be contagious—all it takes is one person and a bright idea.

This gorgeously illustrated story is a feel-good classic in the making for all bedtimes and story times.

About Tom Lichtenheld
