A sweet antique book with a story that doesn't have anything to do with the rain, but seemed fitting for these rainy Spring days.
Ameliar-anne and the Green Umbrella
Constance Heward
pictures by Susan Beatrice Pearse 1920
Ameliar-anne (who wears her hair in curl rags) gets to go to the tea party that the good-hearted Squire is throwing for the children. She feels sorry that her siblings can't attend because they all came down with a cold. So Ameliar-anne has the kind idea of using the big green umbrella to bring home treats. She's caught and found out by the Squire's mean and cranky sister but in the end the Squire's generosity and Ameliar-anne's big sister thoughtfulness win the day!
