The Invisible Umbrella

di , Faizi (Autore)

fAIzi, 2025

Thalif is nine. He lives beneath a broken roof in a forgotten neighborhood — the kind of place where children learn too early that the world looks through them. One night, after running from a group of men who rule the alleys, Thalif finds an old umbrella left beside a trash can. But when he opens it… the men stop chasing. Their eyes slide right past him — like he has vanished. The umbrella doesn't hide from rain. It hides from danger. But safety has a cost: under the umbrella, adults become blind to him, and the people who once could hurt him now can't help him either. Teachers ignore him. Shopkeepers won't see him. Social workers walk past him. Even his own mother — tired, struggling — forgets he's in the room. Thalif must choose: Is it better to be unseen and safe? Or seen and vulnerable — but human? With the help of a girl with mismatched shoes, a stray dog who never leaves his side, and children who know what it means to be invisible, Thalif sets out to change the rules of the umbrella. He will protect himself — and still be visible. He will be a child with dignity. He will make the world see kids like him. A heart-tugging journey about courage, belonging, and the fierce, unbreakable truth that every child deserves to be looked at — and loved.
