'Under the Love Umbrella’ by Davina Bell and Allison Colpoys

Even when everything is going wrong or changes in life seem scary, you are protected under the love umbrella. You may not be able to see it, but your love umbrella keeps you safe and dry. This picture book is brightly coloured and the repetitive nature of the rhyme makes it a beautiful book to read aloud and share.

Activity idea: What’s under your love umbrella? Can you make a list of all the things that, even when things seem scary or are going wrong, keeps you safe and dry?
