Review: Emily and the Rainbow Umbrella
Rating: 5 out of 5

I purchased this book because my 5 year old granddaughter (Lilly) loves pink. While I think Lilly loving pink is fine, I was also noticing that it was limiting her in making choices. This book was a wonderful lesson for that. Emily loves pink so much that for her birthday she wishes everything was pink. When that happened she soon realizes that having everything pink was not as great as she thought it would be. She realized the value of color (diversity and other choices). My Lilly agreed with Emily and a few days later chose blue pants to wear instead of the pink skirt she always wore with the pink top. She told me that "Sometimes books have good ideas."  I would recommend this book for all young children, especially those stuck in a rut.
