Rain Before Rainbows Summary

Rain Before Rainbows by Smriti Halls

An uplifting, stunningly beautiful book about optimism in the darkest of places.

A girl and her companion fox travel together from a place of loss and despair, through uncertain times, towards the hope of colour, light and life. Along the way, they find friends to guide and support them. Together, they build a glorious future and discover there is a way out of the darkness, into the light of the rainbow. A book with immense hope at its heart, this is a positive message for anyone who's ever gone through a tough time.

Rain Before Rainbows Reviews

A stylish picture book about how there is always a way out of darkness. * The Sunday Times *
The story is a lyrical ode to optimism, resilience and friendship, illuminated by Litchfield's dazzling textured art. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *
Hope is also invoked in Rain Before Rainbows by Smriti Halls and David Litchfield. First released as a free e book, this dreamlike vision of a girl and fox travelling from darkness and difficulty to a blaze of morning light offers, with its few well-chosen words and heart-lifting illustrations, a moving message of perseverance and eventual joy. * The Guardian *
This book is a path from darkness and sorrow towards the wonder of the light of hope. Whether the answer to the last few weeks, year or a hard day, I found my heart softening and opening as I soaked in the message of this book. David Litchfield's illustrations feel like being enveloped in warmth. * wanderingbookseller - Instagram *
David Litchfield's dramatic or warm illustrations are lovely. The rhyming text and the detailed pictures make this an attractive book for young children. * The School Librarian *
