A stylish picture book about how there is always a way out of darkness.
The Sunday Times
The story is a lyrical ode to optimism, resilience and friendship, illuminated by Litchfield’s dazzling textured art.
The Bookseller
This book shows the importance of strength and hope in times of fear. The illustrations are full of movement and colour and will fuel readers’ imaginations. The positive words and colourful illustrations remind us all to stay hopeful throughout troubled times, for rainbows are on their way. A heart-lifting and moving read.
Children's Books Ireland - Mind Yourself
Hope is also invoked in Rain Before Rainbows by Smriti Halls and David Litchfield. First released as a free e book, this dreamlike vision of a girl and fox travelling from darkness and difficulty to a blaze of morning light offers, with its few well-chosen words and heart-lifting illustrations, a moving message of perseverance and eventual joy.
The Guardian
David Litchfield's dramatic or warm illustrations are lovely. The rhyming text and the detailed pictures make this an attractive book for young children.
