It's difficult to imagine any art project more fun this fall than to get this book, read and enjoy it, then create your own rainbow wish! Eighteen artists have shared their own and I noticed quite a few wishing for activities with friends! With the virus restrictions and the hope to stay safe and well, it means very little or no time with a group. Brian Biggs writes "My rainbow is playing ball with everyone." He shows a group of very happy children, and a ball!

She created a collage of whirling colors and many hands. I didn't choose favorites but only samples. Each one will make you smile.

Sort of fun, sort of disjointed. Each page spread features an author/illustrator's ideas about rainbows and hope with mostly diverse children. "My rainbow is playing ball with everyone." Illustrations by ? include rainbow-colored beach ball being passed between a group of colorfully clothed and hairdo-ed kids, all White skin. Some of the artwork is stellar and identifiable with the artists' signature styles (my favorite is Lane Smith's rocket ship - I'm pretty sure), but the artwork isn't signed o Sort of fun, sort of disjointed.

“I look forward to some sleepy Saturday when every boring thing feels extraordinary.” When we have come through the other side of this difficult time, what “rainbow” will be waiting on the other side for you? Is it “crowded laps?” Is it time with friends? Is it ice cream at the beach with friends? Or is it “seeing the world through a new lens, imagining a universe of possibilities”? I love this book! Each of the 18 pages beautifully illustrated by a different illustrator, it brings our focus back “I look forward to some sleepy Saturday when every boring thing feels extraordinary.” When we have come through the other side of this difficult time, what “rainbow” will be waiting on the other side for you?

I didn’t realize just how much I needed this book. It’s a collection of wonderful wishes for when this pandemic is over. Take the time to savor each page, each word, each work of art. My rainbow is to share this book with all the little people in my life, all of us together in a big, hugging pile. 💕

18 artists depict their hopes for the futures, specifically in response to Corona Times. The variety of illustrations and reflections of hope make this a beautiful book for connecting with children. Hopes range from caring for the earth, spending time with family and friends, and appreciating relationships with others.

Reflections and lessons learned: In a year where the rainbow has gone from being something lovely within my family raising kids, to the small nods everywhere in the world as a reminder of connection - especially poignant for me and a lost childhood nod too 🌈 “I can’t wait to ride a rainbow” 🌈

We really enjoyed matching up the illustrators to the pages they illustrated! Beautiful concept for a book and love that you can add to it on social media, as well, allowing your own kiddos to creat their own part of the story. ❤️ 🌈

This is a good read! Could really be used to demonstrate how everyone's rainbow looks different. Also includes the pandemic of 2020 and on - hopes for the future of returning to friends and such. Could do many activities with this. This is a good read! Could really be used to demonstrate how everyone's rainbow looks different.

A group of top illustrators share their hope through the image of a rainbow. The book resonates with all that people have missed due to the Coronavirus pandemic and brings a hopeful note.
