Rainbow Science: What, Why, How: A Primer (Eye on Science)

The Rainbow Science Book is the first in a series of science educational primers for children in elementary school. The origin of rainbows, the major colors within the rainbow is taught in a playful story about two school kids who discover the beauty of the rainbow after a rainy day. Noa and Patrick search for answers about the origin and colors and ask questions of renowned scientist and teacher Dr. Patricia Bath. This is a book which introduces children ages 3 to 8 about rainbow. In a simple manner the book teaches what a rainbow is, how it is formed and why the colors have an order. This book promotes education in a multicultural diverse setting where every child feels included and loved. Children with disabilities are included in the classroom to teach inclusivity. The story begins with a biracial girl named Noa and her Asian classmate named Patrick playing in the rain. The fact that Patrick has a hearing disability is an incidental rather than consequential part of the story to teach that neither race,culture or disability has any impact on friendship. Each color page has an opposite "mirror" page to encourage a Pre-K, pre-literate sibling, child or friend to enjoy the book by simply coloring the pages. Alternatively, parents with Pre-K and pre literate children can guide their child to color the mirror pages. This book is designed for children, their parents and teachers to enjoy. We hope that this book is used by teachers to assist in their teaching of the simple concepts about rainbows and the colors of the classic rainbow.
