Christina and her
friends like it when there is a summer shower followed by a rainbow. It is one
of the things they love about summer. That was until one day when the rainbow
slowly began to disappear as it vanished into the ground. The entire rainbow
just kept going over until the other end of the rainbow disappeared.
Nobody has ever seen anything like it. None of the kids has any idea why it happened. Nor did the any of their adult family members. It would be awhile before they could talk to their teachers at school about it as that wouldn’t start until September.

The kids decided that
when the next shower happened and the rainbow formed they would ride their
bikes to where the rainbow was to find out what was going on. When that
happened the kids jumped on their bikes. They rode and rode and eventually had
to walk into some woods. The last bit of the rainbow led them to a clearing where
they found The Boy Who Ate Rainbows.
They also learned his
name is Duncan and a lot more in this cool tale for kids written by Barry
Ergang. Originally written as a fourth birthday gift for the daughter of close
friends, the read is a cool mystery fantasy that has a number of important
teaching moments for children. Not only was the book a hit with a birthday
girl, the read was a big hit with her fellow Montessori classmates. That led to
four pictures by those students being included in this edition.
A short tale of
understanding, compassion, and hope for the future, The Boy Who Ate Rainbows is a fun read for both kids and
adults. While the original tale and artwork may be nearly 20 years old, the
message contained in these 18 pages is universal and timeless.
