Sarah Crossan

A Totally Big Umbrella

€17,95

A tender picture and insightful read-aloud picture book about anxiety: showing children aged 3-7 years old they do not have to carry their worries alone – there’s always room under your umbrella for someone else. The debut picture book from the award-winning Sarah Crossan, stunningly illustrated by Rebecca Cobb, illustrator of The Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson. Tallulah doesn’t like the rain.

It spoils her new dress. It makes her favourite biscuits soggy. It ruins EVERYTHING.

So, she gets an umbrella from Grandma. For a while, she feels better… But is one umbrella enough? Talullah worries about rain thundering down, and washing her away. She decides that she needs complete protection.

So she gets another TOTALLY BIG umbrella and under her umbrella house, Talullah feels safe. But … is Talullah missing out on all the fun happening around her? How can she manage her fears and still BE in the world?- A reassuring and funny story about anxiety and fear and the ways that these can hold children back from embracing all of life's joys. - Perfect for any young reader who may be feeling insecure – the book will inspire confidence and show them the value in branching out of the familiar.
