Reader:  The big umbrella. Amy June Bates, co-written with Juniper Bates

By the front door... there is an umbrella

It is big, it is a big friendly umbrella.

It likes to help.

It likes to spread its arms wide.

It loves to give shelter.

It loves to gather people in.

It doesn't matter if you were tall or hairy or plaid.

It doesn't matter how many legs you have.

Some people worry that there won't be enough room under the big umbrella.

But the amazing thing is, there is.

There is always room.

The end. Thanks for watching.
