Book Description
Reena hates rainy days. She hates the way the dark clouds make everything look so dull.
Rekha loves rainy days. She loves the way the rain makes the earth smell.
When Rekha spots a rainbow, she rushes indoors to tell her sister about it. Reena will want to paint it, for sure!
But when the sisters go outside to find it, the rainbow disappears. Where could it have gone?
How to Find a Rainbow is a vibrantly illustrated tale about two sisters with contrasting feelings about rainy days who search for a disappearing rainbow, leading to a heart-warming story about finding joy in the midst of gloom.
The story introduces young readers to the wonders of nature by introducing simple scientific concepts as it goes — and it even includes a fun rainbow experiment you can do at home.
How To Find a Rainbow – What We Thought
How To Find a Rainbow is a beautiful story about two sisters who are opposites in their likes, but find a common ground – rainbows! It’s an excellent book for children to follow along, whether they are reading it on their own or with you. The words and phrases are incorporated into the illustrations, it’s brilliant!
I love how it uses simple language to interest children and keep them focused throughout. They will also know how to find a rainbow and how to make their own by the end of the book! A book to make you smile on the rainiest days!
A definite 5-star read for young children!
