On a recent trip to Germany I picked up this children's book from a little shop in Mitte, Berlin. The title translates to 'Plip, the Umbrella Man' Written by David Sire and Illustrated by Thomas Baas. Despite not being able to read German myself, the cool toned Illustrations do a wonderful job of telling the story. The Umbrella Mans journey consists of battling to overcome some of life's greatest obstacles sadness and loneliness, in order to find happiness.
