Oh those dreary, rainy, gray days that leave us looking longingly out the window. On this particular gray day a young girl has a pup who needs to go. Off they venture into the rain to get the job done and along the way they discover, quite happily, a shop with all sorts of curious items for sale. In they go and it's not long before they find a yellow umbrella with the best price tag in the world - FREE - waiting to be discovered.
What can a girl and her pup do with a yellow umbrella that appears to be falling apart?
Surprise! Delight! The magic of imagination springs into action. This is no ordinary day. This is no ordinary girl and pup - turns out each one of us has the power to create a different world.
For me here we see the makings of a classic........
