Review Quotes Sevillano and Allepuz use a combination of disparate creatures and subtle nods to predator and prey animals to model themes of generosity and acceptance in this sweet picture book. - Kieran Slattery, freelance reviewer, teacher, co-creator of Gender Inclusive Classrooms. Shelf Awareness Beautiful colors invite you into the book just like the zebra invites the other animals under his umbrella. I love the message that everyone is welcome, including the obvious predator, the lion. - NetGalley- Librarian I would use this story with young children to talk about welcoming refugees into our community. It could also just be used to discuss the importance of kindness. - NetGalley- Educator The illustrations are colourful, bright and expressive. All the animals portrayed are adorable. The story highlights friendship, acceptance, kindness and sharing. I highly recommend it. - Storywraps Blog
