I’m back from the bookstore having found a number of picture story books that will be suitable to read to students during the workshops I'm preparing on literature and literacy. Good excuse to go to a book shop actually.
It is now raining steadily- not heavily but steadily- as I was walking there was a family group trying to manage their way through the rain. The youngest “freestanding” child was tagging along at the back of the group of two adults and four walking kids and one in a pusher. The kids had umbrellas but the parent didn’t. The youngest boy was tagging along behind and yelled to his father ‘Dad it’s broken’ referring to his rather large, for him, umbrella. The fact that he kept bouncing it on the footpath as he tried to see out from under it was probably reason enough for its being broken.
The picture gives a fairly good indication of why the umbrella may well have been broken!
