Picture This: The World Made a Rainbow


A colourful celebration of life and hope. 

A little girl is missing her extended family and friends during lockdown, so makes a rainbow for her window. Some colours remind her of the things she is missing, others of moments in her past, and some remind her how much she has to look forward to in the future. 

This is a really beautiful picture book exploring life during lockdown, which children will find both relatable and comforting. My daughter could definitely see herself in the main character, who misses her school and her friends, and sometimes feels lost in a house where her parents are busy working and looking after younger siblings. 

The World Made a Rainbow is a gentle reminder that it's okay to feel sad, or afraid sometimes, but also focuses on the positivity and hope in the world. 

The artwork is bright and cheerful, and we loved the images of multicoloured rain, especially at the end.

The World Made a Rainbow is a really lovely story, and would make a wonderful 'back to school' gift for anyone who is feeling a little bit nervous.
