one umbrella enough? Talullah worries about rain thundering down, and washing her away. She decides that she needs complete protection. So she gets another TOTALLY BIG umbrella and under her umbrella house, Talullah feels safe. But is she missing out on all the fun happening around her? How can she manage her fears and still BE in the world? A thoughtful, insightful and tender picture book debut from renowned author and poet Sarah Crossan, beautifully illustrated by Rebecca Cobb, that offers children new ways to think, and talk about, their anxieties.
