The Elephant's Umbrella

Beautiful illustrations with a super cute story, I just wish it was a little longer, I found myself wanting more.

A colorfully illustrated tale about an umbrella that looks for kindness. Who will offer kindness when the umbrella offers itself to the other animals. The umbrella asks the question "If I become yours, where will you take when it rains." Each answer does not speak of generosity but of what I can get. The difference between being selfish and generous is virtue that is worth knowing and acting upon.

A delightful tale of an Elephant's generosity and the umbrella that searches for kindness.

"The Elephant's Umbrella" is all about kindness and generosity. The simple tale is about an elephant who cares deeply for others and whenever it rains he shares his umbrella with his friends. The invitation is always open to whomever needs to be sheltered on rainy days.

One day the wind whisks the umbrella away from the elephant and it lands in the paws of a leopard who wants to use it selfishly for his own hunting practices. The umbrella wants no part of his offer and the wind then whips it into the the paws of a bear. The motive of the bear is to use the umbrella for his self-centredness.

"I'll take you to the bees;" said the bear.
"I'll take their honey. And I'll sit under
you and eat all that honey by myself."

"No, no!" replied the umbrella.
" I certainly will not belong to you."
And she chased after the wind again.

Will umbrella ever get back to her friend elephant who is kind and generous and is looking all over for her?
