Description
Freya loves rainbows. She loves their bright colours and their curvy shape. More than anything, she wishes she has one of her very own. One that she can keep forever. So she decides to become a Rainbow Hunter! She searches high and low, but no rainbows are to be found, so she decides to make her own, collecting items in every colour of the rainbow from the garden. But when things don't go quite to plan, Freya has to use her imagination and creativity to come up with a way to make her wish come true. A vibrant story from the author of the bestselling The Perfect Fit with technicolour illustrations by Ana Gomez.
Freya is on a mission to catch her very own rainbow.

"...brilliant book with totally adorable illustrations by Ana Gomez. I've had way too much fun making rainbows after reading this clever tale." * Julie Sykes, Author of The Unicorn Academy *
"Beautiful! I love Freya and her determination." * Anna Wilson, Author of The Wide, Wide Sea *
"How to Catch a Rainbow is a gorgeous story of determination and imagination and a celebration of all the beautiful colours in our world." * Jodie Lancet-Grant, Children's Author *
"This is an entertaining, lively book about creativity and nature, offering up a host of opportunities for budding artists and scientists to get inspired, and provides young readers a heartwarming tale of determination, love, and kindness." * The Bookery *
"This is described as a 'vibrant' story and it certainly is! It is also joyful, fun, educational and empowering. The book is about a child who is creative, curious, determined and imaginative and independent. It strikes me that these are all admirable qualities that make Freya (the central character) a super role model for young readers. Especially as they read about how she overcomes her initial disappointment about the failed first attempt to make a rainbow and comes up with another idea to capture a rainbow." * Book Up North *
"A warm-hearted, multi-coloured celebration of imagination and adventure. Rainbow hunting will be your new favourite thing!" * Craig Barr-Green, Author of A Christmas in Cornwall *
"This vibrant, imaginative story - brimming with Gomez's technicolour illustrations and a playful exploration of problem-solving - encourages little ones to talk about how rainbows are made... and is a joy to both look at and read." * Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Post *
"What a wonderful book to make you cherish the beauty of the outside world and how to make the most of magical moments." * Mini Travellers *
