Freya loves all the bright colours of a rainbow. And she loves their curvy shape, too. Looking at rainbows is fun but what Freya really wants is a rainbow of her very own. Armed with a net and a rucksack full of rainbow hunting kit, Freya sets off to find one and, when there are no rainbows to be found, she tries making one!
Just mixing sun and water can’t be that hard after all. When that doesn’t work either, Freya sets out creating a rainbow of her very own from all the colours around her.
