Synopsis
Erin's daddy sees the colour in everything. Even on the greyest days, they put on their wellies and go splashing in puddles because, Daddy says, 'We can't see rainbows without rain!' But what happens when the greyest day of all comes, and Daddy isn't there any more? Can Erin learn to find colour in the world again?This deeply sensitive picture book about the loss of a parent is the ideal starting point for conversations about love, loss and learning to live again.
Reviews
Sharon
Daddy’s Rainbow by Lucy Rowland, illustrated by Becky Cameron, is such a tender, gentle book which shows children that there is a way to come through grieving the loss of someone you love. A hopeful tear-jerker if ever there was one. You will need a hug after reading this (& plenty of tissues!) For ages 5+ and perfect for the PSHE curriculum, across the primary curriculum.
