Saw it on a shelf and the artwork (four stars) caught my attention, I'm a sucker for illustrations that really capture an artists line work/brush strokes etc., adding visualized texture, and hey I also like umbrellas and parasols. This was a sweet, fun, little story and I'm thinking of gifting my copy to someone who also really enjoys children's books.
