On a rainy day,  Elephant walks out with his green umbrella. But along the way, the characters he meets — Hedgehog, Cat, Bear, and Rabbit— have already had fantastic adventures with the umbrella. Can this be true? Things aren’t always what they seem in this tale of imagination, sharing and friendship...

Publishers Weekly: "Kramer’s imagination-fueled encounter makes good use of fellow newcomer Sassouni’s gift for conjuring up fairy-tale landscapes......"

Kirkus:  "Illustrated in spreads that alternate the rainy-day narrative in vignettes with full-bleed spreads that allow the flight-of-fancy retellings to render a deeper mood, the animals' stories are delightfully descriptive...The lesson about sharing and generosity is elegantly wrapped around lovely language.."

Matthew Winner, All the Wonders : "...Many memories can be shared over a single prized possession. And as Sassouni's art plays in the worlds of joy and longing over a green umbrella, we see a group of characters come together to discover what they can offer another in need. There's no mistaking how easy it is to share this book."

Lauren Castillo (Caldecott Honor Winner):  "A sweet story of a blossoming friendship between five lovable and imaginative characters, united by one special green umbrella. I want to jump right in to the lush paintings and join in their fun!"
