Bookroo's summary

Adele, the vibrant café owner, brightens her community with warmth and smiles. But when rain falls, she retreats into solitude. As she hides away, a secret admirer leaves her small, thoughtful gifts, each one a step toward rediscovering joy in the rain. Who is behind these acts of kindness, and can they help Adele embrace the stormy days? Discover the magic of friendship and unexpected surprises in this heartwarming tale.

From the publisher

Perfect for fans of Amélie, this is a charming story about the power of friendship, love and pink polka dots to turn rainy days into sunny ones and sadness into joy. When it’s bright outside, Adele is the heart of her community, greeting everyone who comes into her café with arms wide open. But when it rains, she can’t help but stay at home inside, under the covers. Because Adele takes such good care of her friends and customers, one of them decides to take care of her too, and piece by piece leaves her little gifts that help her find the joy in a gray, rainy day. Along with cute-as-a-button illustrations, The Pink Umbrella celebrates thoughtful acts of friendship.
