Review quote:
“This is an entertaining, lively book about creativity and nature, offering up a host of opportunities for budding artists and scientists to get inspired, and provides young readers a heartwarming tale of determination, love, and kindness.”
Review quote:
“This is described as a ”vibrant” story and it certainly is! It is also joyful, fun, educational and empowering. The book is about a child who is creative, curious, determined and imaginative and independent. It strikes me that these are all admirable qualities that make Freya (the central character) a super role model for young readers. Especially as they read about how she overcomes her initial disappointment about the failed first attempt to make a rainbow and comes up with another idea to capture a rainbow.”
