Reviews
Littlies who are familiar with the original Rainbow Fish story will delight in seeing the same glittery illustrations again, as they accompany RF on his journey around the colourful underwater landscape as the message about sharing and caring, particularly at this time when not everyone’s Christmas is the magic and mayhem the media would have us believe, is reinforced. Even the smallest act of kindness can be the bright spark in the day that a person cherishes. Whose day could they brighten?
