PARENTS IN TOUCH (UK)

‘… a book for shared story times. With gentle messages about acceptance of difference, overcoming fear and family relationships…general enough to be accepted as a stand alone story, yet includes enough context to spark more direct conversations’

READING TIME

‘…a beautiful book to explain how even though children with special needs can seem different than other kids, we can create rainbow bridges and include them in our fun.’

KISS THE BOOK

‘Sensitive, as well as delightfully enjoyable with a good dose of fun added, makes The Chalk Rainbow a pleasure to read and be read, as well as an excellent teaching and discussion text for small children learning to accept that different is OK, just sometimes, you just have to come at the situation from a different perspective.’
