An uplifting, stunningly beautiful book about optimism in the darkest of places.

Rain before rainbows. Clouds before sun. Night before daybreak. A new day’s begun. A girl and her companion fox travel together from a place of loss and despair, through uncertain times, towards the hope of colour, light and life. Along the way, they find friends to guide and support them. Together, they build a glorious future and discover there is a way out of the darkness, into the light of the rainbow. A book with immense hope at its heart, this is a positive message for anyone who’s ever gone through a tough time.
