A short picture book leaves room for great discussions about inclusion, acceptance, and multicultural living. To me, the umbrella symbolizes a community, whether that be the idealistic US or a classroom, that always has enough room for anyone of any size, shape, or color. Although not explicitly said in the words, it will be important for the reader to invite the listeners to talk about the racial, age, and abilities differences between the people under the umbrella.
