Bücher von Maureen H. Cronin

Lisa wakes up one day and everything is in black and white. She enlists the help of her best buddy - Shadow - and off they go to Colorville to bring color back to her town. Each Rainbow Person she encounters gives her a token of that color: a red rose from Ronnie Redheart, an orange from Monsieur L'Orange, a sunflower from Marvin Garden and the Golden People, a patch of grass from Mr. Greenfield, a blue saxophone from Mrs. Blew, and a purple scarf from Lady Violet. Once Lisa has all the tokens, she is able to create a rainbow as her bridge back home. Set against a colorful backdrop, the subtext of embracing diversity and inclusion is a running theme throughout this delightful tale of the Rainbow People.
