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.
*The Bookseller*
This book shows the importance of strength and hope in times of
fear. The illustrations are full of movement and colour and will
fuel readers’ imaginations. The positive words and colourful
illustrations remind us all to stay hopeful throughout troubled
times, for rainbows are on their way. A heart-lifting and moving
read.
*Children's Books Ireland - Mind Yourself*
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*
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*
