The first pages

It was a rainy, windy Saturday in Seattle. Amara opened her yellow umbrella with the duck handle and splashed out the door with her dad.

Whoosh! A big gust of wind flipped the umbrella inside out. Now it looked like a giant yellow bowl, and the rain was falling straight into it.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
