Tonight I am sharing
A stunning picture book
With a powerful message
About being true to yourself

This brilliant and beautiful book
Explores feelings and
Links emotions to colours

I love how each colour
Is lyrically linked to
A space
A happening
A sensory experience
As well as a feeling

Mamta Nainy’s prose
Reads like a song
Her words dance
Across each gorgeous page
With the most wonderful artwork
From Jo Loring-Fisher
One of my favourite illustrators

This book
Rainbow Hands
Gives me goosebumps
It is a gentle giant of a picture book
The words and pictures enchant readers
Holding them in a spell
Showing them the beauty of nature
And celebrating the magic of
Being your true self

A perfect picture book
To read with little ones
This Pride Month
An inspiring
Empowering
Inclusive book that should
Be on every bookshelf
This book gently challenges
Gender stereotypes
In an age appropriate way
For little readers

It is a book that reminds us all
To slow down and
Soak up our surroundings
To feel our emotions
With all of ourselves
And to express ourselves
Freely

So many rich layers
To this wonderful story
About a little boy
Who loves to paint his nails
To match his mood
To match his day
To show the world
How he feels and
Who he is

What kind of colour day
Have you had today?
