<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Sometimes in London it drizzles. Sometimes it mizzles. Other times it pelts and showers and spits. And Jonas Hanway hates getting wet. How can he go about his day as a proper London gentleman when his shoes are soggy, his coat is always collecting puddles, and his wig looks like a wet cat? Fed up with damp and dreary London, Jonas sails far away, to places where the sun always shines. But what he sees when he gets there is.... scandalous! Shocking! Sensational! Perhaps also...quite genius? Now all Jonas has to do is convince the rest of London that they need an umbrella, too."--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Sometimes in London it drizzles.

His first picture book, <i>Oliver: The Second Largest Living Thing on Earth</i>, contains no umbrellas, but it does contain an unhappy sequoia tree. If you find one of Josh's umbrellas, please give it a good home or return it to his umbrella stand in Birmingham (Alabama, not England). <p/>Eileen Ryan Ewen is a freelance artist with a background in Fine Art and Creative Writing.
