A young girl and a rainbow inspire us to nurture love and know when to let it go.
One sunny morning, a young girl catches a beautiful rainbow and places it in a glass jar. An instant bond is formed and the two become inseparable. But for the rainbow, homesickness eventually sets in — and no matter what the girl does to cheer it up, it can’t escape feeling unwell.
To make things right again, she must make a gut-wrenching decision and, in the process, learn the hard way what love truly means.
“The furniture and clothes in the softly colored digital illustrations project a late 1960s, early 1970s style. The child’s checked hat echoes the rainbow’s colors, connecting the two of them visually. This unusual friendship story is imaginative and poignant.” — Booklist
“Washes of color and winking details mark this wistful, magical story about giving those we love the room that they need to grow.” — Foreword Reviews
