The Rainbow Weaver Availability: Our Price: £10.99 Why is the rainbow getting shorter? Tillie discovers Hecatey the Hideous, King of the Hobgoblins is planning something no-one would ever think of doing, and the beautiful sprites who create the rainbows are counting on Tillie to stop him. Stealing the thread from the rainbow to create a dazzling magic cloak, Hecatey knows when he wears it, that it has the power to suck the colour from whatever he passes - turning everything around him dull and grey. This way, the wicked hobgoblin believes he'll become the most magnificent sight in all the land. He succeeds. But in a way he doesn't expect! The Rainbow Weaver is a unique picture book appealing to both children and grown-ups, reminding us that magic is for all ages, not just for little children.

It is a delightful story with a strong moral tale of good triumphing over evil and of the joy and value of teamwork and faith over single-minded greed. It is even more amazing that it is a story inspired by 8year old Tippi who couldn't get to sleep and created the story based on her mother's beautiful illustrations and drawings of rainbows. Rainbow Weaver is a stunningly illustrated book and a beautifully written tale to be enjoyed every day of the week the world over. It would also make a great children's school play and could easily be staged to suit all ages. Now there's a thought for this year's nativity! Lovely story with a good moral This is a lovely story of how good can triumph over evil using the simple beauty of a rainbow. Excellently illustrated with simple, colourful pictures; sure to captivate the young.
