Introduce young readers to the joy of trying again in The Chalk Rainbow. Simple, repetitive sentences guide early emergent readers through Sam’s first rainbow, the rain that washes it away, and the extra effort to draw it once more, just in time for a real rainbow to appear. With a gentle twist at the end, this story invites little ones to see how sticking with a challenge can bring its own surprises.
