Why read it?
1 author picked Umbrella as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is what I read again and again when I first started writing a picture book. Momo got her umbrella for her birthday gift and she can’t wait to use it. The little girl’s impatience, anticipation are plainly described and it brings me to the childhood days when every day is anew, novel, and splendid.
From Hyewon's list on rainy days.
