Marley has planned a concert in the park for her new neighborhood. Marley and her family just moved from Jamaica to Delaware. A bad storm has settled in the day of the concert. Marley knows all about bad storms from living in Jamaica. However, the storm is not dampening her enthusiasm for the concert. She decides they can cover the stage with umbrellas hung from the lights. She and her brother and sister go around and tell the neighbors their plan. they help the neighbors with things they need help with and pretty soon they have a lot of umbrellas and a big tarp. One neighbor said they could use his greenhouse for the concert.
I loved this book, too. It has wonderful, bright, happy and expressive illustrations. I like it shows a map of Delaware and of Jamaica, too. Marley is a happy kid, and she wants to do something nice for their new neighborhood and their new friends and neighbors. She and her sibling help other and then other people help her instead. What a delightful, wonderful book. I highly recommend this book. It will quickly become a new favorite.
