A normal day in the park turns out to be full of surprises!
Clara has gone to the park, but there s nobody to play with. She finds an umbrella on the ground and does a good deed by putting it on a bench. The umbrella says thank you and invites Clara to make a wish. So unfolds a magical chain of events featuring a new friend, an elephant, musical butterflies and a naughty fox who learns his lesson.
An amusing and magical way to introduce themes of empathy, choice-making and citizenship to the youngest readers.
Lovely bold, expressive drawing conjures a magical story in Elena Arevalo Melville s heart-warming picture book, in which a lonely girl finds an object in the park that brings the needy what they lack and the greedy what they deserve: this includes a blue elephant and a sense of community.
