Rain Before Rainbows

In the midst of rain, rainbows can be hard to see. But with courage and the help of good friends, there is always a way out of darkness.



Walker Books have released Rain Before Rainbows by Smriti Halls and illustrated by David Litchfield as a free eBook to raise awareness for Save the Children's Save With Stories campaign which is helping children most affected by the coronavirus pandemic.


The rainbow has become an incredible symbol of hope and optimism during this time and we hope that this uplifting story can be a source of comfort and light to children and families, and that it inspires anyone who is able to do so, to donate to the Save with Stories campaign.
