🎨 How to color it

Use candy pink, lemon yellow, sky blue, and grape purple for the rainbow bands, soft white or pale blue for the two puffy clouds, and bright gold for the stars. For little hands, chunky crayons can fill the wide rainbow arches and round star circles without needing to stay perfectly inside every line. Try making the middle star the shiniest one, with a tiny orange glow around its circle.

High in the sky nursery, soft brushes went swish, swish. Nola wanted to polish one sleepy star before the blue blanket of night came down. She rubbed slowly. The star only blinked.

“Wait with me,” whispered Nola. The rainbow beside her held very still between two pillowy clouds. At last, ping! The star shone warm and gold, and the rainbow smiled in every color.

Ever since, rainbows wait quietly for stars before they shine their brightest. Next time you see the star in the rainbow’s middle, can you hear Nola’s soft swish, swish?
