There are still glimmers of brightness in this very dark time. I came upon the story of Noah Henry and his love of rainbows, written by Deana Sobel Lederman, on Facebook. Deana is a talented cartoonist, mom, and generous human who openly shares this beautiful story, a response to COVID19. I love to read to my preschool students as a way to stay connected. I am hoping if they hear a familiar voice, it will be comforting.
