World Made a Rainbow

Review There is much to love about this book - the happiness of family all together, the loving support so evident in both picture and text, the diversity shown, and the theme that sad times don't last forever ― Books for Keeps A lovely, gentle book . Rather than dwelling on the pandemic, the book puts an upbeat and positive spin on things ... My four year old has read this book many times and describes it as 'making him happy' while my husband said it brought a lump to his throat as he read it out loud to him ― Toddle About Product Description Let's paint a big rainbow to put on display. When people pass by it and see it, they'll say . 'All rainstorms must end, and this rainstorm will too.' And they'll feel a bit happier, all thanks to you. Light can't shine without dark. Rainbows can't colour the sky without rain. And the world is always full of hope and possibility, even when we feel lost and alone. Inspired by the rainbows that children across the world have been creating and displaying in their windows, The World Made a Rainbow is a beautiful story with a hopeful message of staying connected to the people we love, and a proportion of proceeds will be donated to Save the Children UK.

She works from her studio at home and likes fine black pens, ocean dips and a good mug for tea. Emily has drawn, coloured, painted and created since she could pick up a pencil. She studied art to A Level, followed by English at the University of St Andrews, Scotland (with 2 years of art history thrown in for good measure) and from then on, has been a self taught illustrator. She fell into the world of illustration in 2008 whilst living Australia where she stumbled across a job drawing illustrations for history books, and has continued happily from there! Nowadays she loves to transport herself into the world of children's books so she can do things like fly with unicorns, hang out in a magic garden and decide how many jellyfish you could fit inside a handbag. You'll find Emily's work in books, magazines, on cards, products, fabric and the occasional surfboard and wall.
