Blue like the raindrops. Green like the soft grass. Yellow like the warm sun. This is the story of how the rainbow snail came to be. It takes sun and rain to make a rainbow, and what better combination of colors could there be?

Book Synopsis

Sheffield Children's Book Awards Winner 2024! A strikingly-designed early learning die-cut board book introducing colors and a fabulous new character--the Rainbow Snail! Karin Åkesson's beautiful artwork and easy-to-read text combine to create a wonderfully interactive book to teach toddlers colors and a charming read-aloud children's book for ages 0-2 and up. Stick with the snail as it journeys through colorful surroundings, from black to the boldest colors of the rainbow!

The Rainbow Snail was the winner in the Toddler Book category, and Overall Winner of the Sheffield Children's Book Award 2024.
