The Rainbow That Plays In Grandma's Garden

Written by Jackie Worsdale and illustrated by her granddaughter, Emily Cooper at four years of age, this rhyming picture book shows the varied life in a garden. From the trees and flowering plants to colourful insects, squirrels and birds children are taught to investigate the garden at even the tiniest level and to appreciate nature's variety.

The Rainbow comes to life and is central to the book. It is seen as the happy entity that plays in the garden.

There are blank pages at the end of the book for children to practise drawing some of the life that can be found in the garden. Children also learn about the colours of the rainbow, the days of the week and how to appreciate nature.

The book is a combination of real photos, illustrations blended with some activity for children by providing blank pages to drawing.
