Rainbows, Stars, and Apples

From the award-winning author of Layla’s Happiness and a dynamic cut-paper artist making her debut, this fresh, collage-style bedtime story shares the feelings of working parents everywhere, while grounding mother and daughter in deepest love.

Mommy and Daddy have an adventurous daughter, Rosa, who is a joy to behold. Both parents work, but things are still harmonious more often than not. However, the balance tips when Daddy goes on a business trip, Mommy has had a long day, and Rosa has energy to spare. How will Mommy and Rosa get the rest they both need?

Beautifully told and highly relatable, the melodious text from Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie and gorgeous, textured images from Mirlande Jean-Gilles accomplish what they aim to do: soothingly carry readers into a place of tranquility and rest.
