Freddy and His Magical Umbrella Terry Wade

Freddy knows that he's not supposed to reach up to the high shelves in the family garage, but he can't help getting in trouble. Today, he particularly wants to play with his mother's prized umbrella, a gift from his grandmother.



When Freddy lets a windy day blow the umbrella away, he is too small and slow to catch it before it floats out of the neighborhood. Now Freddy has to decide whether to come clean to his mom. He hopes that the wind might blow the umbrella back into their yard, but as the days go by, Freddy isn't certain about his plan. Will Freddy find the courage to tell his mother about losing her umbrella?



Parents can use Freddy and His Magical Umbrella to teach children the value of honesty and telling the truth when they make a mistake.



Terry Wade has created a simple story that beginning readers will adore. Through Freddy and his adventure, she shows children how to look for the magic in their everyday lives and that each day has the potential to become extraordinary.
