The Colors of the Rainbow


Jennifer Moore-Mallinos - 2005
    Just like colors of the rainbow, each person is unique in his and her own special way. But all have similar feelings, thoughts, hopes, and dreams. Kids are encouraged to celebrate and appreciate both their own and other people's differences, and above all, to come together like the colors of the rainbow. Titles in the sensitively written 'Let's Talk About It!' series are available in both English and Spanish language editions. They speak to the concerns and anxieties of preschool-age and early-grades children, encouraging kids to explore their feelings and then to speak openly about things that trouble them. Speaking openly and sharing troubling feelings with parents or with some other trusted adult is an important first step in a child's ability to overcome problems and achieve emotional growth. All books in this series have appealing color illustrations on every page.
