The tale begins with a magnificent rainbow shining over the kingdom, symbolizing prosperity and happiness. The King, recognizing the need for his children to learn the art of leadership, assigns each of them a part of the kingdom to oversee. While three of the siblings embrace their duties and nurture their rainbows, the youngest prince, overwhelmed by his responsibilities, seeks an easy way out. This decision leads him to a cunning imp who offers to take on his tasks, setting the stage for a journey of self-discovery.

'You can never go wrong with a story by Isabel Wyatt, full of adventure and deep morality. Although this has been simply adapted for large picture book format, it still carries the moral picture of how we need to take care of the earth and each other. This story is for over 5's, but the beautiful illustrations by Sara Parrilli draw you in, no matter what age.'
