Eating Rainbows

"I couldn't..."

  "I didn't..."

     "I tried..."

In this vibrant watercolor-illustrated book, a boy, who is sick and has a tracheostomy tube, can't play like other kids. He doesn't whistle and he tries to eat cake but he hurts too much and his tube gets in the way. After a rainstorm, a rainbow visits him. He licks the colors one by one. And then takes big, delicious bites. He fills up with happy.

Whether we can't, or we don't, or we try and it hurts, we can find happiness within ourselves beyond our limitations.
