Virtual Book Club for Kids Featured Book How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow

We have included Amazon links to the books we recommend. If you purchase via the books we may earn a small commission.

In this week’s featured book How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow by Monica Sweeney when the sun and the clouds fall out the rainbows disappear and colors start to go from the world. But left in the black and white world is a single pack of colorful crayons. They start drawing and they save the world bringing colors back and the sun and cloud together as friends again.

Spend time with your little ones talking about friendship, about colors, and the rainbow as you read the book together.

More Rainbow Books for Preschoolers

We have a featured book each week for our Virtual Book Club for Kids but know that sometimes it isn’t possible to find the book or you may want to add a few more books to the theme to the book basket during the week so as well as our featured book we also suggest 3 other themed books that we recommend for the week.
