The artwork of the cover is exquisitely done and again reflective of how diverse the world is now in the twenty-first century and has been for some time although sadly, forgotten or ignored by the majority of authors, illustrators and the world as a whole.
I truly hope that This Is Our Rainbow: 16 Stories of Her, Him, Them and Us is the first of many books for middle-grade readers and helps them feel the acceptance and joy of being who they are far sooner than many of us who came before.
