Recognizing that everyone can use a little inspiration to "take time to smell the roses," this collection of short, simple, true life stories helps to illustrate "rainbow moments" in our lives - those times when a rainbow appears and, for at least a brief moment, makes us feel better and experience a little ray of sunshine in the monotony of our daily routines. The book is an easy to read gift book. The short narratives provide the reader with food for thought to help focus on the many positive things that happen every day. Each true life story is limited to one page, and each has a corresponding photograph on the opposite page that visually exemplifies the message of the story. Each photo contains a rainbow (obvious or not so obvious, depending on the story). The first story is "Rainbows Are Where You Find Them," which tells the true story that initiated the idea that led to the book; another evokes the nostalgia of a childhood birthday. This is a "feel good" book intended for a broad, wide-ranging audience, including both teens and adults interested in reading uplifting, inspirational stories that will relate to their own lives. Melinda Blanchard Crawford is a retired registered nurse. Don L. Crawford is Professor Emeritus of Microbiology and Environmental Science at the University of Idaho. They live in north Idaho, where they enjoy collaborative writing projects and watching the menagerie of wildlife that frequents their neighborhood.
