Description

This acclaimed picture book is now available in paperback! The hardcover edition of Ella's Umbrella's is a 2009 Alcuin Society Award for Excellence in Book Design third prize winner, a 2014 Rainforest of Reading nominee, a 2010 Christie Harris Illustrated Children's Literature Prize finalist, and a 2011 Canadian Toy Testing Council Top 10 Great Books for Children selection.

Ella has every umbrella under the rainbow, from aquamarine to jellybean green. Her umbrellas fill up the entire house. Aunt Stella from Kathmandu is coming to visit and Ella's mom demands that Ella get rid of her umbrellas. But Ella wants to keep her precious possessions. Brought to life through rhythmic text and fun watercolor illustrations, this is the perfect book to cheer anyone up on a drizzly day.
