    One unexpectedly rainy day, the blue umbrella appeared. After finding it, two little kids are protected from the rain. As they invite more people to join them, the more it grows! Surely it can't fit anymore? But eventually, dozens of kids and their families have found shelter under the blue umbrella. The children see a man in the rain and invite him under, but he is sceptical about joining. They convince him to try, and everyone fits! The families have picnics and share stories. After the rain stops, the umbrella returns to normal. It didn't need to grow again. A sweet story about a generous community working together to support each other.
