The Blue Umbrella by Ruskin Bond

5.0

When Innocence flutters around

There cannot be a bond as pure as the one formed through feelings of forgiveness and kindness. There is no thing greater than humanity. Ruskin Bond in his classic tale shows us how envy affects everything that we are as a human, how one act of kindness can pave way for multiple positive emotions. The book contains enchanting descriptions of everything that is beautiful around us. It takes you to the innocent hills and makes you climb down the mighty crevices. When the birds are described you will literally find yourself listening to their happy chirps. I dont find myself even slightly worthy to rate a tale so pure and sensitive. The book is a must read for adults and every adult should pass it on to their younger ones for that one lesson of humility and kindness which is so essential in today's times.
