Dream A Rainbow

Dream A Rainbow teaches children the colors of the rainbow and inspires them to believe in their dreams. On a stormy morning, Hana sees a rainbow and dreams of where it might take her. She slides into a fantastical adventure to Ethiopia, where she plays with friends and beautiful animals. When she returns home to bed, she is sure-dreams really do come true!

Drawn from real life, Shattered Dreams at Rainbow's End is the story of a World War II hero, Donald, a foot soldier, who returns from combat, meets the Depression-born Mary, and marries her. They have two children, baby boomers Danny and Deborah, and then a third child, Charles, part of Gen X. Patriarch Donald's dream of having the family all sitting around the fire at Christmas time in the Rainbow's End farmhouse reflected “family values.” He died before seeing his dream fulfilled. None of the children, despite apparent successes, end up meeting the parents' expectations. Mary's second husband's brief five-year presence and leadership helped get the family back on the track of family values. Her third husband could do little to promote family values. Despite his affection for Mary, his luxurious lifestyle and personal wealth mattered more than family values. The tragedy of Shattered Dreams is not just the multifaceted emotional drama surrounding Mary's three husbands but the breaking of at least one rule in the patriarch's moral code by each of his children. Informative: psychologically, legally, historically...shows passion and a great will to overcome. - Coach B., English teacher and hall of Fame wrestling coach. Very interesting story with spiritual implications like the Bible verse in Jeremiah 33:3: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know" – Hyrine O.

WHEN CHLOE AND JOEYgo searching how to create a dream rainbow, they learn from the world around them that creating comes from within.

When my daughters were young, they would sometimes fi nd it hard to go to sleep. I always made up stories for them when they went to bed to stop them from having bad dreams. I then thought that it would be great to share these stories with other children. My girls always loved the Rainbow Dreams story; it always made them relax and go to sleep with smiles on their faces. As they are now older I still say to them, ?Rainbow Dreams, ? and they know exactly what I am talking about. This helps them relax and go to sleep easily.

A charming children's story from author-illustrator Carole Stevens Bibisi, about the importance of teamwork, caring, sharing and being a family.
