"One day, a little girl wakes up in a changed and isolated world. She can't see her friends. She can't go outside. She can't even go to school. She feels lonely and sad. But mom has a great idea--they'll paint a big rainbow together and put it in the window to give hope to people passing by.

From missing friends, missing teachers, and missing grandparents, The World Made a Rainbow tackles all of the challenges of life under lock-down for little ones while offering hope, comfort, and solidarity. It's a story that will be familiar to families of all shapes and sizes and will resonate with an entire generation for years to come.

With charming illustrations from a new talent, The World Made a Rainbow will reassure and uplift--after all when every rainstorm ends, there's always a bright, shining rainbow"
