Uppercase and lowercase U above an open umbrella with falling raindrops

Letter U Under a Rainy Umbrella

A big uppercase U and a smaller lowercase u float over an open umbrella while plump raindrops fall all around.

🎨 How to color it

Color the uppercase U bright red, the lowercase u sunny yellow, the umbrella panels sky blue and teal, and the raindrops light aqua. Use chunky crayons or markers for the wide umbrella sections, then trace slowly around each raindrop so the little shine marks stay white. Try making every other umbrella panel a different blue, like a striped rain tent for the two U letters.

Under the old glass rain kiosk, Una tapped her boots in the puddles and held up her little card: U. She had made herself a challenge—find twelve U-sounds before the shower stopped. Plip! A drop hit the umbrella stand. Plup! Another bounced from a curved handle. “That’s two!” Una laughed, smelling wet stone and lemony raincoats as she dashed in a tiny circle.

More drops drummed fast—rum-rum, tum-tum—until the umbrella above her opened with a soft whoosh. Then came the twist: the rain was counting too. Each drop slid down the umbrella’s curved ribs and landed in a perfect U-shaped splash. Una whispered, “Your turn?” The kiosk answered with twelve bright plunks. Next time you see the big umbrella and the falling drops, can you hear Una’s first brave plip under the old glass rain kiosk?
