Reviews
Praise for Rainbow Days: The Gray Day by Valerie Bolling:
An early reader bursting with color, art, and sparkles. Sentences are brief enough for those learning to read but retain interest and immediacy as Zoya goes on her creative journey. Illustrations are warm and vibrant, perfect for a book about an artist and her puppy. A how-to-draw guide is included at the end to help readers create [their own drawings]. VERDICT: A colorful, lovely addition to every early reader collection. –School Library Journal
