In the tradition of Alison McGhees Someday, beloved illustrator Amy June Bates makes her authorial debut alongside her eleven-year-old daughter with this timely and timeless picture book about acceptance.

By the door there is an umbrella. It is big. It is so big that when it starts to rain there is room for everyone underneath. It doesnt matter if you are tall. Or plaid. Or hairy. It doesnt matter how many legs you have.

Dont worry that there wont be enough room under the umbrella. Because there will always be room.
