Aurora is a young girl. Her family live in a village and have a black dog. One day when out with the black dog Aurora was dreaming of adventures she would love to have when she saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky reflected in a puddle in the lane where she lived. She could not resist jumping into the middle of the coloured waters and they were soon being transported high above the clouds. On the rainbow was her favourite unicorn which started to talk to her. Aurora and the black dog could not believe what was happening and she felt worried as to where she was going but the unicorn was reassuring.
The first four chapters of the book take Aurora and her black dog on more rainbow adventures to see amazing places in the world, animals on the land and in the sea and she comes back with important messages to make a note of.
The following eight chapters Aurora starts to look for rainbows and they appear in places she would never expect. The Adventures help her put into practice all she has learnt and found special from the first four chapters. The book is about love, kindness and morals and respecting the world we live in. It has a Christmas message which will bring a tear to the eye.
The book is part written in a secret picture language. At first just a few words and then sentences. Chapter twelve will need to be transcribed to know how the story ends. The picture language is to help children with their spelling and to help keep their attention and excitement of where they may go next. I hope it will help children look at reading in a different way and explore new ways to write stories.
There is mystery and adventure throughout and Aurora never knows when she will go on these rainbow adventures, they are so exciting that she dreams about them at night and cannot wait to tell her friends all about them.
The book is written for young children but its morals and messages are for adults too with an aim that the world will be a better place to live in if all who read make a note of them. Read between the lines and it will make you smile too.
