Welcome to Litsy!

This is the picture book selection for my library‘s 2023 Community Read program. The art and colors are lovely. The story is simple and sweet. The umbrella always has room and makes room to shelter those in need. 💙

The Big Umbrella, by Amy June Bates and Juniper Bates, and illustrated by Amy June Bates is published on February 6th, 2018. This book is a fictional children's book and won the Carolyn W. Field Award (PA). A child in a yellow slicker takes a big, red umbrella out on a rainy day. The umbrella helps everyone stay dry, no matter if they are tall, hairy, plaid, or have four legs. It likes to take people (and other creatures) in and give them shelter.

F/RA/This is one of my favorite picture books. The colors and illustrations are stunning. This books is about a big umbrella that shelters everyone. This book is about inclusion. It could be used as a read a loud to remind students to be kind to one another and accept everyone for who they are.

Cute! ALWAYS room under the big umbrella, no matter who you are 💕☔️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A friendly umbrella just wants to help, no matter who you are.

“Some people worry that there won‘t be enough room under the big umbrella. But the amazing thing is...there is.

There is always room.”
