Synopses & Reviews
Turn the graduated pages of this unique shaped book to help Duckie find her way home — and youll marvel at the dazzling rainbow that appears when she gets there.Duckie is in a hurry to get home. She walks through a red poppy field, hops under an orange bridge, waddles around a yellow cornfield, rushes past a big green tree, and paddles across a deep blue pond. By the time she reaches her nest, purple clouds have begun to rain, but dont worry — the books rounded pages, each one smaller than the last, form a spectacular rainbow on the last spread! With the boldest of colors and enchantingly simple shapes, Frances Barrys collage illustrations combine with an ingenious format for an eye-popping concept-book debut.
About the Author
Frances Barry says the idea for DUCKIE'S RAINBOW came to her "on the top deck of a London bus. Not that I saw a rainbow, but Ive always found it a great place to brainstorm with a sketchbook! I named the character Duckie because it was a term of endearment my great-aunt used for everyone." Frances Barry has worked as a designer of greeting cards and stationery and has painted several public and private murals. This is her first book.
