I love rainbows! So I'm thrilled to share a new anthology about all kinds of rainbows.
A UNIVERSE OF RAINBOWS: MULTICOLORED POEMS FOR A MULTICOLORED WORLD is a beautiful new book published by Eerdmans with poems selected by Matt Forrest Esenwine and illustrations by Jamey Christoph. It is a joy-filled celebration of rainbows, and each poem is accompanied by a scientific sidebar offering a few interesting facts. Congratulations to Matt and all of my poetry friends who wrote amazing poems for this anthology. It is sure to be a hit with teachers and rainbow lovers of all ages.
I've shared this poem before, but it seemed fitting to share it again today. A few years ago, my son sent me this photo, and here is the haiku I wrote for it.
