Where giggles rhyme with dreams and every page bursts with color, this poetry book for young children is a joyful journey into the imagination of childhood.
A Rainbow of Poetry for Children by Miriam Kam Weisbrod is a charming collection of poems that celebrates the whimsical, the heartwarming, and the downright funny moments that fill a child’s world—inviting young readers to read, laugh, dream, and even create. Miriam Kam Weisbrod has a gift for capturing a child’s sense of wonder in rhythmic, rhyming verses that are both simple and rich in imagery. These are not just poem — they’re short, playful stories brimming with personality and warmth.
This poetry picture book is especially engaging because it’s interactive. Children aren’t just passive readers; they’re invited to join the creative process. Some poems are accompanied by spaces to color, draw, or continue the story. This clever inclusion not only encourages literacy but also fosters creativity and self-expression, making the book a delightful blend of reading and hands-on play.
The illustrations by Barbara Silbert beautifully complement the tone of the poems, offering a colorful visual world that enhances the emotional and imaginative impact of each verse. Every drawing feels alive with movement and character, perfectly echoing the joy and spontaneity of the poetry.
Beyond the fun and fantasy, A Rainbow of Poetry for Children gently weaves in life lessons—about friendship, kindness, courage, empathy, and the magic of believing in oneself. Whether it’s a spider hoping for a friend or a little girl dreaming of becoming a butterfly, these poems speak to the inner world of children in a language they instinctively understand. This is a book that belongs on every child’s shelf—a companion for quiet afternoons, bedtime rituals, or classroom inspiration.
With each turn of the page, children meet a delightful cast of characters: a regal rooster announcing the morning, a clever little mouse outsmarting a hungry lion, a tiny horse transformed into a prince, and a troll who just wants to make friends.
