How Do You Make a Rainbow

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 . . .

How do you make a rainbow? This touching and joyful story, written by Caroline Crowe and illustrated by picture book favourite, Cally Johnson-Isaacs, shows how to find colour and hope when days seem dim and grey: celebrating love, positivity and the precious relationship between a child and her grandad.

One day, a little girl is stuck inside on a gloomy day and asks her grandad to help her paint a rainbow on the sky. But as Grandad tells her, rainbows aren't painted on the sky, they grow out of kindness, hope, and helping other people.

How Do You Make a Rainbow? is a reassuring, heart-warming story of colours, kindness, community and nature, that shows that brighter times are always around the corner.

Fans of The Truth About Old People by Elina Ellis and Grandpa Green by Lane Smith will love this darling picture book, which will fast become a favourite for grandparents to share with their grandchildren for many years to come.
