Welcome to the Birth to Six newsletter from Hennepin County Library.
Rainbows
|
|
Spring showers bring color to our world once again, through green grass, flowers, and–if we're lucky–rainbows! Spotting a rainbow in the sky can be an exciting and magical moment for a child.
Read a book about Rainbows to start a conversation about spring and colors, and to get excited about a much-anticipated season!

Beautiful Rainbow Came
One day, the sun was shining bright,
(Hold up hand as if blocking sunlight)
But some clouds came along, and it became black as night,
(Hold up other hand for the clouds)
Then the rain began to sprinkle down onto the ground,
(Wiggle fingers for the rain coming down)
And soon it was raining all over the town.
But when the clouds had passed on by,
(Move both hands to one side)
A big, beautiful rainbow stretched across the sky!
(Make a rainbow arc with your hands)

A Rainbow Fair
When the rain falls from the sky,
(Sprinkle fingers down)
Don't forget to look up high.
(Look up)
If the sun is shining there,
(With arms, make circle above head)
You may see a rainbow fair:
(Make a rainbow arc with your hands)
Red, orange, yellow, green and blue.
(Show color ribbon, or count on fingers)
And you'll see there's purple, too!
