Other Side of the Rainbow
The Other Side of the Rainbow is a magical and heart-warming adventure about change, resilience, and the beauty of the world around us – from internationally bestselling author and illustrator Beatrice Blue.
Lucien has always been wary of change – whether it’s trying new foods, moving to a new home, or making new friends. He prefers the comfort of the familiar. But one stormy night, a gust of wind blows open his window and extinguishes his fire, leaving only a single ember still glowing. To his amazement, the ember transforms into a playful, dancing flame – a glowing boy who whisks him away on an extraordinary journey through all four seasons in a single day.
As Lucien explores sunlit meadows, autumn forests, icy lakes, and blooming spring landscapes, he meets new animal friends and begins to see the magic in the ever-changing world around him. Through this breath-taking adventure, he discovers that change isn’t something to fear – it’s a natural, beautiful part of life, full of exciting possibilities.
With its rich, immersive storytelling and luminous artwork, The Other Side of the Rainbow is a stunningly imaginative picture book that encourages young readers to embrace life’s transitions with courage and wonder. A timeless tale filled with warmth and adventure, this is a story to be cherished and shared.
