By the door there is an umbrella. It is big. It is so big that when it starts to rain there is room for everyone underneath. It doesn’t matter if you are tall. Or plaid. Or hairy. It doesn’t matter how many legs you have. There will always be enough room for everyone under the umbrella.

The BIG Umbrella can be used to discuss social and emotional learning themes. The smiling umbrella makes room to shelter everyone regardless of what they look like and provides ample opportunities to highlight the importance of kindness and inclusion.
