"Darrow's lively verse and Murphy's vibrant art combine to create an exuberant exploration of the possibilities of poetry. This eye-popping, tongue-tickling, jazzy-snazzy book is sure to delight and inspire readers of all ages. -Mary Quattlebaum, author of award-winning children's books Jo MacDonald Saw a Pond and Pirate vs. Pirate ... a playful invitation into the lyrical, sensory pleasures of poetry, a sing-swell-sigh of a book, an oh-my-how-high of a book, a big bite, bright night, utter delight of a book. -Liz Garton Scanlon, author of the Bibsy Cross series and All the World A delicious scoop of poetry with a dash of punny wordplay, all tied up in a loving rainbow. Rainbow a Poem begs to be read out loud. --Uma Krishnaswami is the author of many picture books, including Out of the Way! Out of the Way! and Look! Look! ""What Darrow and Murphy have done here, with this charmer of a book, is to give us all a fresh new approach to considering poetry. It'll make you want to hum a poem, strum a poem, tap your toes and drum a poem."" --Kathi Appelt, NYT bestselling author of The Underneath and Max Attacks."
