The little girl finds a small blue umbrella in front of her door with a mysterious sign that it is for her. Although it wasn’t supposed to rain that day, the little girl decides to take the umbrella along on her outing with her mum. Suddenly, it starts raining and the umbrella seems to fit only the little girl. She convinces her mum to squeeze underneath the umbrella anyways, and somehow the mum fits and keeps dry. The two decide to call other strangers to seek shelter underneath their umbrella. Even though it seems too small for anyone else to fit underneath, they all keep dry and protected. The umbrella seems to grow taller and wider with each person hiding underneath. When the rain stops, a big crowd had gathered underneath an umbrella unbelievably big. The event doesn’t go unnoticed with all that found protection - it created a community and they all build a lasting version of the umbrella.

A cute story about a girl that wants to help the people around her - with everlasting impact to create a community that keeps taking care of each other. The message is clear: Helping each other out, making room for each other, brings joy and benefits to everyone around.
