About the Book
Squirrels Don’t Need Umbrellas! is a fresh, fun, and uniquely educational book for children written from a child’s perspective.
Children will learn the days of the week as the delightful little boy in this story thinks he would rather be a polar bear, a squirrel, an elephant, an owl, a box turtle, and even a cheetah - until he realizes he’s content to be his awesome self.
The repetition and sense of familiarity incorporated into this book will keep children entertained, but the fun facts they will learn about familiar animals will also be sure to amaze them.
Additionally, young listeners and readers will gain an understanding of the importance of a loving and respectful relationship between a little boy and his mother. Finally, the colorful and whimsical illustrations will keep adults and kids alike turning the pages.
Excerpt
On Wednesday, the bright sun came out, and I could finally play outside. I sprinted toward the back door, but Mom said I had to put sunscreen on my face and arms before I could go out. I said, “I wish I was an elephant!” Mom was confused. “Why would you rather be an elephant than my strong little boy?”
