Chapter 1

WOW! Top pick in 2023 Amby awards for children's fiction.
This is the first story I ever wrote for my grandchildren and the one they all remembered the most.
A little girl is carried far away by her brand new umbrella on an adventure that introduces her to a number of characters who all join in helping her find her way back home.
This story was first started on a Commodore 64 computer hooked up to a 12" portable, black & white TV. When I decided that I wanted the story to have illustrations I took the huge leap of buying my first 'real' computer, an IBM PS1 stand alone. Illustrations were also a first for me on a computer using Corel 3.
