KID APPEAL: AVERAGE

A mother uses the colors of a rainbow to celebrate the love she has for her child and her wishes for that little girl.
The exuberance of the colors and love shine through the illustrations.  I wanted to sing the words, and wished that I could hear the tune I could feel within the pages.  This would make a great board book.  I hadn’t heard the term Rainbow Baby before – it means a child born soon after another baby is lost.  But whether you are celebrating a new beginning or just the gift of any child, you will feel the joy here.
