As I was cleaning through old boxes of childhood stuff, I found a tape of myself at 5 years old reading this story to my mom. I became so nostalgic for this book that I had so loved- I remember knowing it entirely by heart.You don't need to have experienced tragedy to love it, you just need to have experienced the whole range of human emotions from fear to sadness to love and joy. A must-read for any child.

This is by far the most beautiful childrens book i have ever read. It was frist read to me in 1985 as a little girl of 4. I recently gave it to my boyfriend who fell in love with it as well. Now we read it to each other all the time. Remember the night rainbow is a must read for anyone who still fells the magic of being a child

This poem (book) was given to me at a time when I was very low, and it instantly gave me a start and a route up. Since, I have given it to several people, some who have suffered real tragedy. It always helps.

This book is written for children with the purpose of making them feel better in times of stress by using their imaginations and looking at the world in a different way. The illustrations are very colorful and bring to life each one of the creatve verses contained within. The book is meant to inspire and encourage children and each one of the small proverbs carries meaning that people of all ages could possibly learn from. Nevertheless, despite the fact that it's intended for children, some sensitive children might be afraid of some of the illustrations inside. But, overall this is a wonderful and charming book that can inspire and encourage most who read it.

this book is for all the belivers in the word....by far this is not just a childrens book....but a book for those of us who belive in magic,miracles and such ..it can be compare with the little prince....the graphics are wonderful if you feel that you do not want to grow up read this book

This is a beautiful book. I first came across it in a store called Serendipity in Rockport MA about 25 years ago. I still have my copy but bought a copy this year for my cousin who is 16 and getting ready to go off to college. The artwork and the messages are so enduring. The thoughts in here stayed with me through many ups and downs of life and growing up and living in general. Such wonderful messages that just whisper in your ear when you need them most.....if it's the last dance, dance backwards. This is one of my all-time favorite books, right up there with The Little Prince.

For children, this book is all about the acceptableness of absurdity.

For adults, this book is all about being open to unconventional solutions and finding the silver lining in whatever life throws you.

I remember reading this story to the children I watched in my teen years. I never tired of it (& that's after 3 or more readings a night!) As a new mom, I can't wait to read it to my son!

I have been looking for this book for so long and can't believe that you have it so available. I received it as a gift before I went away to college from my older sister and gave it to many friends going through rough times over the years. It is so sweet and poignant. I have looked for it on and off for ten years and tried amazon on a whim and here it is. Thank you for putting every magical book at my finger tips!

I can't believe you have this book available! I have been looking for my hardback copy for some time now. It is the book I like to give most when I give a gift. When I first read it, I was enchanted with it, and I look for other books by Cooper Edens all the time. I believe this is the author's first. Thank you for making it one of your many selections.Jan Gartenberg, Dallas Texas
