"...brilliant book with totally adorable illustrations by Ana
Gomez. I've had way too much fun making rainbows after reading this
clever tale."
*Julie Sykes, Author of The Unicorn Academy*
"Beautiful! I love Freya and her determination."
*Anna Wilson, Author of The Wide, Wide Sea*
"How to Catch a Rainbow is a gorgeous story of determination and
imagination and a celebration of all the beautiful colours in our
world."
*Jodie Lancet-Grant, Children's Author*
"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."
*The Bookery*
"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."
*Book Up North*
"A warm-hearted, multi-coloured celebration of imagination and
adventure. Rainbow hunting will be your new favourite thing!"
*Craig Barr-Green, Author of A Christmas in Cornwall*
"This vibrant, imaginative story - brimming with Gomez's
technicolour illustrations and a playful exploration of
problem-solving - encourages little ones to talk about how rainbows
are made... and is a joy to both look at and read."
*Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Post*
"What a wonderful book to make you cherish the beauty of the
outside world and how to make the most of magical moments."
*Mini Travellers*
