One day a little boy discovers a forgotten rainbow on his adventures. He takes it home, cares for it, repairs it and then brings it along as he sails the deepest oceans, climbs mountains and fights dragons. But when the rainbow disappears he feels lost and doesn’t think he can go on his brave adventures any more.

The nameless boy soon realises he can still be brave and adventurous and strong without the rainbow, that it is the qualities inside himself that makes him who is he is. The story helps children see the importance of kindness, that being sad for losing something is ok and that they will find the strength to go on.

The illustrations perfectly match the story, with bright, vibrant rainbow colours. The deep blues invoke stormy seas and the red dragon pops off the page.
