When I picked this up I had no idea this would be about chakras. What a fun, educational and wholesome book!

This beautifully illustrated story is so unique! Panda loves doing yoga, but feels like his black and white fur is plain compared to his brightly-colored friends. But as Panda learns about the chakras and all the colors he has within, he feels so good about the light he has to shine. A wonderful way to get children to tap into the amazing and colorful parts of us all that remain unseen.

Really loved the illustrations! I had no idea that this would end up being about chakras, which I'm not super familiar with. But either way, I enjoyed the message that we all share a rainbow of colors and common feelings inside each of us. That was good.

Rainbow Panda is a powerful story for young children! This story helps them connect with their inner emotions and process their feelings! As a speech therapist, who specializes in children, this book is a wonderful resource for parents to have. Highly recommend !

The rhymes were kinda clunky, but this is a cute and helpful introduction to the chakras.
