My Review
A bedtime story is natural for any night time routine. It's a time of calm and peace where you and your child sit down at the end of the day and go on an adventure together. And that's the amazing thing about books, they can take you anywhere.
The story follows Erin and Rowan as their mum tells them about the colours of their rainbow and how it can guide and help them throughout life. They all go on an adventure within the four walls of their bedroom where they explore the colours of their rainbow.
The rhyming helped get into the flow of the story and added a calming pace. The words rolled of my tongue and was almost singsongy, a lullaby which helped relax my boys.
The beauty of this book is that parents get to share with their children. It helps creates a relaxing, safe space where they can bond over many adventures.
The messages presented are powerful, they are full of support and wisdom about how you learn from pain to experience great happiness, to seek out their sun in those difficult times. It's refreshing to read as children are often told to not focus on the bad. But here the story is showing them that the bad will only make them stronger, they will learn and grow from it.
The illustrations are gorgeous. The boys loved looking at all the colour and detail on every page. They enjoyed trying to find the gingerbread and monkey too that joined the adventure.
I give Your Rainbow By Lynn How a Five out of Five paw rating
A delightful, colourful, magical story that is essential to any bedtime routine.
We loved this book, the boys could not get enough and it has quickly become a nightly favourite.
