"Ending on a note of hope and reassurance, a sensitive exploration of loss and grief for the young"
In this moving, sensitive story, a little girl loses the daddy who filled the family life with colour, but learns that her memories will keep him with them for ever. Through lively, joyful scenes of family life that will be immediately familiar to children, we see how much fun they had together, Daddy seeing colour in everything.’ Then the action slows, illustrations sensitively depicting how things change as Daddy gets ill, and the world turns grey.
The family’s sorrow is clear but then we see how the memories captured in Erin’s scrapbook can make them smile again and a final view of a bright rainbow demonstrates with lovely clarity how Daddy is always with them. This is an ideal book to share with children to help them understand and cope with loss.
Erin's daddy sees the colour in everything. Even on the greyest days, they put on their wellies and go splashing in puddles because, Daddy says, 'We can't see rainbows without rain!'
