Colors, colors, everywhere! That's what makes Nature so beautiful! Like a Rainbow spotlights that truth with its engaging rhyming message and vibrant illustrations. Its celebration of Nature's colorful diversity becomes a springboard to accept and value how wonderful it is that we, too, are all different. As parents, caregivers and teachers, we hope that our children will live in a better world. It's one where kindness, empathy and friendship grows. It's one where accepting our own differences replaces fearing them. This book contains 7 bonus pages of fun facts, resources and a coloring page.
Like a Rainbow is written for the young child as a first important step, a beginning piece of their growing social-emotional foundation. It is the start of a conversation:
" For like a rainbow and garden,
Animals of sea and zoo,
People ' round the world,
Are very beautiful, too."
About the author
Marge Silvestri's life has been full and fulfilled as a pre-school through middle school teacher, mother to 3, grandmother to 6, in a beautiful diverse family. However, for many years, she had a longing to write a specific children's picture book. The idea came as a Child Development and Family Relationships major at Cornell University. While doing research on children developing racial bias, the fear of differences seemed to play an important role. That became a seed for an idea. It grew over the years with a positive approach in mind. "Like a Rainbow "was finally created to focus on the beauty of our differences by spotlighting Nature's diverse colors. With this life goal accomplished, Marge is happy to enjoy making her multimedia seaglass art, Zentangling, reading good books, and connecting to family and friends. Ideas for the next book are waiting in the wings, somewhere in her home in New Hampshire.For information and availability for school or library visits, you can contact her at:Email: margesilvestriauthor@gmail.com Website: www.margesilvestri.com
