Review
"Maggie's magical flight to meet the colors of the rainbow is Kara Navolio's brilliant gift from her painterly imagination. In this timeless story, Maggie floats into purple's cuddles, whirls into happy yellow, and dances through the rest of the color spectrum. Ultimately Maggie races into red and discovers her inner strength. This book will reassure and empower, and is an inspiring beacon for anyone who has ever wished they could touch the rainbow and find the joy that lies beyond the arc."
-Angie Alban, author of The Happiness Tree
"Maggie Discovers the Rainbow reminds us all of the adventures we can experience just by stepping outside . . . in this case, with a magical pair of rain boots. As the story unfolds, Maggie tentatively steps outside and tries on the rain boots that her grandmother has given her. She discovers their magic, and we join Maggie on a joyful ride through the colors of the rainbow while she describes how they make her feel. The adorable and whimsical illustrations accurately depict the author's intentions of taking the reader on this magical journey. Enjoy this lovely story with your little ones and see their reactions as their imagination takes them up, up, up to the colors of the rainbow."
-Denise Nomura, artist and past president of the Lamorinda Arts Council
"Journey through this magical world with Maggie! Readers young and old will delight in remembering just how important it is to experience all the colors of the rainbow. Explore the concepts of colorful connections to emotions with this thoughtful book that Kara and Tracie have created."
-Dolores Stratford, elementary school librarian, mother, and artist
