Bookroo's summary

Join Zane's journey as his family learns to move forward together, celebrating diversity and the beauty of seeing the world from a new perspective.

From the publisher

The Chalk Rainbow explores difference and diversity through a family living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It’s also a story of unconditional love, of trust and of learning to look at the world through the eyes of others.

The story is told by Zane’s older sister in a way that young children can easily relate to. The ending is uplifting as all members of the family learn to look at things differently and find a way to move forward together.
