This book has beautiful illustrations and bright colors. I liked the idea, but the rhythm wasn't well written, making it hard to read. Features diverse and non-traditional families, which meant it didn't quite fit our family values.This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. UNDER THE LOVE UMBRELLA by Davina Bell with illustrations by Allison Colpoys is simply a beautiful book with gorgeous illustrations in bright and neon colors. Not only is it a tender read it is glorious to page through this book. The umbrella becomes a symbol of love and security for the child and whenever she is in what she finds a threatening situation she congers up the thought of this umbrella which soothes her. A must own book. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This is an adorable book! The bright neon colors really pop on the muted backgrounds and give it a different feel for a children's book, which I appreciate. There are some pages where the flow of the language is a little hard to pick up on, but overall this is a solid book with a sweet message. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I am a mother of a 5- and a 7-year-old. I like the premise of this book. I would like my children to feel comforted by my love no matter where they are.However, this book is only a 2.5 to 3 star in my opinion. The rhythm of the words was off and that was bothersome to me. ("But over your head and just above/There's an umbrella of my love/ To show it's you I'm thinking of/Wherever you might be.") I also did not enjoy the day-glo and fluorescent pink and orange colors in the illustrations. I think the book would have been better with mutued colors. no reviews | add a review
A stunning celebration of the joy and comfort that love can bring, wherever we roam in the big, wild world. No library descriptions found.
