Book summary from Graffeg
When Fletcher sees a dazzling rainbow, he is determined to help it shine forever. Guided by his friends, he chases it through the dripping wood… but the rainbow soon starts to fade. Once the last scrap of colour is gone, Fletcher feels he has failed - until he realises something wonderful!
Join Fletcher and his friends as they celebrate the glorious colours of autumn in this uplifting story of hope.
Nayu's thoughts
Not only is there a beautiful rainbow on the cover, but the inner cover pages are full of rainbow coloured leaves which made me smile the instant I spotted them. I love the soft style of the illustrations, how Fletcher is so eager to save the rainbow, and how his frog friend is always beside him, just like a child's favourite toy goes everywhere with them.
Fletcher meets a lot of people and sees different things which help culminate in a beautiful ending. His disappointment at the rainbow going is palpable, but he then realises not everything in this world is permanent and that is ok, memories are made during rainbows and other similar events. I feel this tale captures the innocence and wonder children have about absolutely everything they see.
