Rainbow is a lizard who, like us all, wants to be accepted by his friends. And, like each of us, Rainbow is unique. He has a gift to share, but he must first believe in himself and be willing to take risks. Author Sarah Froeber takes us on a vivid journey through seaside Buxtonia as our tiny friend juggles the pursuit of his own dreams and the fear of being rejected by his peers. This story moves through a sensory world, rich in sounds and colors of nature. Paired with Ginny Chenet’s stunning illustrations, the animals and flowers pop into our nearly three-dimensional larger-than-life view: sway with the giant sunflower, come face-to-face with the hungry raccoon, climb the magnificent lighthouse!
Rainbow's Orchestra is a timeless story of friendship and belonging, of daring to be happy, of self-confidence and claiming our personal joy. Timeless? Yes. But also the perfect tale for today when everyone in the world yearns to be accepted for exactly who they are.
Rainbow's Orchestra was awarded the 2017 gold medal in the category of 'mind-body-spirit/self-esteem" by Moonbeam Children's Book Awards.
Rainbow's Orchestra is available through Chapel Hill Press, the Joyful Jewel in Pittsboro, Buxton Village Books in Buxton, Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh, Amazon, and www.indiebound.com.
