You Are My Rainbow

This loving and inclusive board book celebrates pride in one’s family and in oneself through a beautiful rainbow of colors!

You are my rainbow.
You brighten every day
with your dazzling colors
in so very many ways.

With a rainbow of colors, this board book celebrates the love between parents and their children. Showcasing all different family makeups—one parent, two dads, two moms, and more—the story encourages children to share their colors with the world. This heartfelt message will resonate with all children and parents, and particularly those in the LGBTQIA+ community.
