Overview

Jay and The Rainbow Umbrella by Rozalind Murray Jay's world is split in two - bright yellow sunshine on one side, deep storm clouds on the other. Some days, Jay feels unstoppable, racing the wind with endless energy and joy. Other days, Jay feels heavy as rain, barely able to lift their wings. It can be confusing when your emotions shift so quickly - when one moment feels like sunlight and the next feels like thunder. Jay tries to keep up with both worlds, but it's exhausting trying to be everything at once. Then one day, Jay spots something glimmering through the rain - a rainbow umbrella waiting on the ground. Beneath its colors, Jay learns to slow down, to rest in the middle, and to understand that balance isn't about being happy all the time - it's about finding calm between sunshine and storm. Jay and The Rainbow Umbrella is a compassionate story about emotional highs and lows, mood swings, and learning to embrace all parts of ourselves - the bright and the dark. Through vivid imagery and gentle rhythm, this story helps children understand that every feeling has a place, and none of them last forever. Part of the Storm Mosquitos series, this heart-centered picture book teaches mindfulness, emotional regulation, and acceptance. Each mosquito in the series represents a unique emotional journey, reminding young readers that healing doesn't mean silence - it means harmony. Perfect for ages 4-8, this book opens conversations about mood, energy, and emotional awareness, helping children (and grown-ups) see beauty in contrast. Even storms have sunshine behind them - and rainbows need both to exist.
