Madison’s Rainbow Adventure

Just in time for Christmas, my latest picture book, Princess Madison’s Rainbow Adventure, is now available on Amazon! This bright and colorful children’s book for ages 3 to 8 teaches little ones about the colors of the rainbow and the fruits of the spirit, while enjoying a story of cooperation, friendship, and love.

Princess Madison loves rainbows. She wants her colorless kingdom to be beautiful and vibrant, like rainbows. When Princess Madison follows mysterious footprints into the forest, she meets Rainbow Roy. The two work together to grow an amazing garden, fill the kingdom with wonderful fruit, and bring beauty back to the entire kingdom.

I am asked over and over again, “How do I ever come up with these stories?” This one is quite simple—my second granddaughter, Madison, inspired the story when I was in Cape Town, South Africa, this past May. Madison loves to dress up as a princess, and she also loves art. But almost everything she colors is a rainbow—even horses, houses, and more.

One day I asked her why she colors everything a rainbow and she said, “God made rainbows and I love them.” Well, that got my imagination running wild and before you know it, voilà! Princess Madison’s Rainbow Adventure was born.

And how did Rainbow Roy come alive? Our friends have a six-year-old boy who says that my husband, Dale, is his best friend. They do have special relationship, so when I began working on this project, sweet little Gabriel was the obvious choice to become the rainbow boy.

This storybook would make a lovely gift for a little girl or boy in your life, so please check it out. After you read it, tell your friends about it (as well as my first book, Lexie’s Adventure in Kenya) on Facebook, Twitter, and, of course, in person.

And if you would be so kind as to leave a review of the book on Amazon, I’d really appreciate it. How do you write a review? It’s really quite simple. Go to the bottom of the Amazon page and click on “Write a customer review.” Then, just tell others what you liked about the book…the characters? The illustrations? Princess Madison learning about the fruits of the spirit? The friendship and cooperation between the princess and rainbow boy? The little ladybug? Reviews on Amazon are incredibly important and very much appreciated.

What do you think of this book? I’d love to know!
