Genevieve, the shepherdess sees the world through a wonderful imagination and positive attitude. Her sheep are the typical color of many sheep, grey and dirty brown. Until the day she happens upon a sad rainbow after she tickles the rain clouds away. To her bewilderment the rainbow’s colors have begun to fade. What can Genevieve do to awaken the rainbow’s happy thoughts and outlook on life?

“Look.” She pointed to the ocean that gleamed in the distance. “That’s the kingdom of the mermaids.”

“Mermaids?” asked the rainbow. A bit of its color returned.

Genevieve soon discovers that her stories about the places below brighten the world of the rainbow and make it happy. Genevieve continues with her stories until the rainbow becomes so thrilled it laughs and cries at the same time. What happens next is simply magical, but you’ll have to read the book to find out.
