The Other Side of the Rainbow
The Other Side of the Rainbow is a magical and heart-warming adventure about change, resilience, and the beauty of the world around us – from internationally bestselling author and illustrator Beatrice Blue.
Lucien has always been wary of change – whether it’s trying new foods, moving to a new home, or making new friends. He prefers the comfort of the familiar. But one stormy night, a gust of wind blows open his window and extinguishes his fire, leaving only a single ember still glowing. To his amazement, the ember transforms into a playful, dancing flame – a glowing boy who whisks him away on an extraordinary journey through all four seasons in a single day.
As Lucien explores sunlit meadows, autumn forests, icy lakes, and blooming spring landscapes, he meets new animal friends and begins to see the magic in the ever-changing world around him. Through this breath-taking adventure, he discovers that change isn’t something to fear – it’s a natural, beautiful part of life, full of exciting possibilities.
With its rich, immersive storytelling and luminous artwork, The Other Side of the Rainbow is a stunningly imaginative picture book that encourages young readers to embrace life’s transitions with courage and wonder. A timeless tale filled with warmth and adventure, this is a story to be cherished and shared.

A book about learning to accept change and see the beauty of it.
Just a warning, the book is not explicitly LGBTQ, but on the first pages you can see the boy with male adults that appear to be his parents. One that from afar might look female, has a growing beard.

A boy doesn't like change but a boy made of flame (like, what?) helps him see the beauty in changes like the seasons.
Didn't appeal at all.

La couverture est magnifique !
Les illustrations sont vraiment belles, elles donnent envie de vivre dedans haha.
« La pluie fait place au soleil, pour que naissent les fleurs. Puis, le soleil se couche, pour permettre aux étoiles de briller. »
C’est une belle histoire qui parle du changement, c’est quelque chose qui peut être difficile à vivre en tant qu’humain et encore plus en tant qu’enfant.
Ciaooo 👋🏼
