Let's paint a big rainbow to put on display. When people pass by it and see it, they'll say ... 'All rainstorms must end, and this rainstorm will too.' And they'll feel a bit happier, all thanks to you. Light can't shine without dark. Rainbows can't colour the sky without rain. And the world is always full of hope and possibility, even when we feel lost and alone. Inspired by the rainbows that children across the world have been creating and displaying in their windows, The World Made a Rainbow is a beautiful story with a hopeful message of staying connected to the people we love, and a proportion of proceeds will be donated to Save the Children UK. Bestselling author Michelle Robinson was desperate to find a way to help small children navigate their way through the complex emotions caused by the 2020 lockdown. She has written a story that matters now, but will last for ever. With charming illustrations from new talent Emily Hamilton, The World Made a Rainbow will reassure, uplift and is the perfect reminder of fun, hope and togetherness. The Save the Children Fund is a charity registered in England and Wales (213890) and Scotland (SC039570)

A beautiful, reassuring story and a perfect reminder of fun, hope and togetherness, inspired by rainbows that children across the world have created, with a proportion of proceeds going to support Save the Children UK

Reviews
There is much to love about this book - the happiness of family all together, the loving support so evident in both picture and text, the diversity shown, and the theme that sad times don't last forever * Books for Keeps *
A lovely, gentle book ... Rather than dwelling on the pandemic, the book puts an upbeat and positive spin on things ... My four year old has read this book many times and describes it as 'making him happy' while my husband said it brought a lump to his throat as he read it out loud to him * Toddle About *
