My daughter and I enjoyed reading this together, We found it really uplifting especially reading this during winter and lockdown! It reminded us of summer days spent in the garden and visits to see Grandparents. We particularly enjoyed the rhyming of the verses and I enjoyed the reminder of my own childhood in passages such as 'grass stains on your knees'

The colours in this book are lovely, there is a different rainbow colour on each double spread page, and all the illustrations are depicted in that particular colour. Down to the clothes the characters wear and the background decor, the pictures are also very cute and lively!

I thoroughly recommend this book, it is a cheery and full of optimism and the beautiful illustrations are very appealing with lots of detail. It would be a beautiful book to share with grandparents and the rest of the family too. Reading this on a grey day is sure to fill you with happiness and hope.

An utterly, joyful, bright, engaging book which is full of hope, positivity and gratitude.
'It tells the reader to 'Think of things that make you happy,
All the kind people that you know,
Find the sunshine that's inside you
And a rainbow starts to grow...'
What a wonderful concept and one which we all need to embrace now more than ever.
This colourful, gently rhyming book quietly encourages gratitude and joy and the inclusion of creative pages at the end of the book is just perfect. I hope that this book finds it way onto every bookshelf for little people and those who need remindinb to find the colour in life and joy in things that are all around us. it is a pure delight.

With heartfelt thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an inspiring read

Beautifully written, this is no ordinary rainbow. This is one that promotes kindness and encourages children to care and not take things for granted. It's a gloriously enticing book that's full of joyous positivity and fun!
Perfect for homes and the classroom, it's a treat of a book, with a story and activities.

This book is beautifully written and cute. This is far from any ordinary rainbow. It has colour, but more than that too... This presents ideas of how to paint a rainbow and it is different from what you may imagine... There is a story of  A grand daughter who is curious about the rainbow in the sky, so asks her grandad about how to paint it, but it turns out the rainbow is made out of all different things. The book oozes with love and kindness and of untroubled times. It talks of the symbolism of a rainbow and what it means to them in a lyrical story-form. Grandad talks of how it is hope and kindness and a lot of other things from the natural world thrown into the mix as well as all the people you may know or may meet. It's all the simple things people take for granted or don't really think of. It's incredibly heartwarming. It serves as this cosy reminder to children of what is good and positive around them and promotes kindness and encourages children to look around them and to think of who and what they see and really, properly care. It's an important message as well as lots of fun for children. It champions who and what is good within the world they live in.

To go with the story is a crafting idea for each idea presented on each page for what makes up a rainbow and encourages children to think of all the things that would make up theirs, so it encourages discussion and also writing.

This book would be great in the home and any primary classroom and library.

I loved the easy rhyming of this! My 2 little ones ( 3&4 ) loved the illustrations and the ease of the story! So beautiful!
