Rainbow People

"Red people rest in the roses." with simple words like these and stunning illustrations, Charles Long (words) and Christina Allen (illustrations), share a message of unity. In the pages of this book, the colors of the rainbow are experienced by seven children. Each enjoys a color differently--some rest, some bounce, and some swim. In the end, there are not seven separate colors. In the end, there is one rainbow. While each child experiences the world of color uniquely, each is still part of the whole--the rainbow. We are not just a world of different people. We are also a world of people who are different. This message of unity helps children learn the colors of the rainbow and the unity-in-diversity that the rainbow symbolizes.
